Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon sugar in water and sprinkle yeast over it. Mix and let stand 10 minutes.
Combine yeast mixture with cooled scalded milk and 2 1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise until light and bubbly.
Add eggs, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, salt and 4 1/2 to 5 cups of the remaining flour to make a dough that is not too stiff and not too slack.
Knead until dough no longer sticks to the hand and is smooth and satiny (about 7 minutes in a mixer, longer by hand).
Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease both sides, cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rise again.
Reserve 1/3 of the dough for decorating (see Note below). Shape the rest into a round loaf and place in a 10- to 12-inch greased round pan.
Now shape the reserved dough into decorations of choice -- a cross, swirls, rosettes, braiding, etc. -- and arrange on top of the dough.
Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled.
Heat oven to 400 F. Brush bread with 1 large egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water. Bake 15 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350 F and bake an additional 40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometerregisters 190 F. If necessary, cover the top of the bread with aluminum foil to prevent over browning.
Remove from oven and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
