- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 package yeast (1 Tablespoon)
- 5-6 Cups flour
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 Cups warm water
Put warm water in bowl, add yeast and sugar, stir. Add 2 cups flour. Add margarine, salt, and rest of flour 1/2 cup at a time and let work in Kitchen Aid until dough clings to hook and cleans sided of bowl (Or stir and knead by hand). Knead on speed 2 for 7-10 minutes longer or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch. (Of course you can knead by hand)
Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover, let rise in warm place, free of draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1/2 hour. (Grandma Morgenegg lets rise twice on advice from Great Grandma Morgenegg).
Punch down. Let rest 15 minutes. Divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in greased bread pan. Cover, let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, abut 30-40 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
