In a small bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes or until foamy.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is pale, lemony-colored, and slightly thickened.

Stir in 3/4 cup of the flour until just incorporated.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix well until a smooth batter forms.

Turn the batter into a well-buttered and floured loaf pan.
