Add 9 cups of bread flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 pack of vitamin C powder, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of warm water with 2 packets of yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture, 2 eggs, and 1 stick of room temperature butter.

Start mixing slowly to avoid spilling, then increase to medium speed; mix for at least 8 minutes (10 minutes if using all-purpose flour).

Check the dough texture; it should be nice and tacky.

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside, greasing the top as well; cover with plastic wrap and a towel to keep warm.

Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes in a warm place, then transfer it to a greased bread pan and let it rise for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size; prepare to shape the dough.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to the length of the loaf pan, ensuring the smoother side is on the bottom.

Pinch and roll the dough, tucking in the sides as you shape it, then place it in the greased pan and cover to keep warm.

Preheat the oven to 300°F and bake the bread for 20 minutes; then increase the temperature to 320°F and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

Once baked, allow the bread to cool before slicing.
