Heat milk, sugar, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl (or heat over the stove) for 90 seconds or until the butter begins to melt. Stir. The milk should be around 115-120 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, and salt. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients. Add eggs and mix well. Add remaining 3 cups of flour and mix until soft dough forms. The dough will be soft and slightly stickier than other yeast bread.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic. Let rise in a warm location for 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide into 2 portions.
Shape each portion into a loaf shape and place loaves in greased bread pans (9"x5").
Cover pans with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 35 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake loaves for 30 minutes. Brush with butter. Let loaves sit in pans for 5 minutes before transferring to wire cooling racks.
