The traditional way to make this bread, because back when my grandmother made it they didn't waste anything, is to use the whey left over from making the egg cheese. I still make it this way. In that case, you wouldn't need the dry milk powder. Other than that, a very tradtional recipe. Very good. One other tip, if you don't have a springform or another good round bread pan, I bake mine in my metal mixing bowls. Spray well with cooking spray and loosen slightly with a knife and it will fall right out.
