Description

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup warm water
• 3 tablespoons honey or white sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (or one 1/4 ounce package of Active Dry Yeast)
• 1 tablespoon salt (I use sea salt or real salt)
• 2 tablespoons oil (I use olive oil-but any kind should work)
• 6 1/4-6 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour*

Directions

• Add warm water (this should be somewhat hot-but not scalding. I will often microwave my water or heat it on the stove until it reaches the right temperature (between 105-115 degrees if you have a thermometer). Add the honey or sugar and the yeast to the warm water and stir slightly. Then set aside and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until it begins to rise. In a large mixing bowl or Kitchen Aid add the yeast mixture, salt, oil, and 3 cups of flour and mix. Then add 3 additional cups of flour and mix. Add the rest of the flour 1/4 cup at a time depending on how much your bread will need (see notes below). Kneed for 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in the Kitchen Aid. Add some oil to the bowl and turn the dough over a few times to coat the outside of the dough with the oil. Cover and allow to rise until double in size (1-2 hours). After its risen, shape bread into two loaves and place in two 9x5 inch greased bread pans. Cover again and allow to rise until about double in size (about 30-45 minutes). Bake on 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Brush a light coating of butter on the top of the bread, and allow the bread to sit in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then remove from pan and set on a wire rack to cool.
