1 PKG. YEAST—1/4 OZ.
1 TBL SUGAR
2 CUPS LUKEWARM WATER
4 CUPS FLOUR
2 TSP SALT
Dissolve yeast in 1 cup water. Sift Salt, Sugar & Flour together into a large bowl.
Stir in dissolved yeast. Add in just enough of the second cup of water to hold the dough together.
Mix until dough is soft and somewhat sticky. Cover with a cloth, let rise until doubled in size. 2 to 4 hours.
When dough is high and spongy, punch it down & move it to a floured surface and knead well.
Divide in two, flatten and roll into loaves. Place seam side down into 2 - 6” loaf pans. Cover with a cloth and let rise until it raises to the top of the pans. 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes and brush the top of loaves with butter, return to the oven for another 15 - 20 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Brush with more butter if desired.
