Ingredients:
6 to 6 ½ Cups Unsifted Floor
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 ½ Teaspoons Salt
1 Package Active Dry Yeast
1 ½ Cups Water
½ Cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Margarine or Butter
Preparation:
In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and
undissolved Active Dry Yeast. Combine water, milk and margarine
in a saucepan. Heat to 120° - 130° F. Gradually add to
dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric
mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour, or enough
flour to make a thick batter. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scrapping
bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft
dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth
and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning
to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft,
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn out
onto lightly floured board; divide dough in half. Cover; let rest
15 minutes. Shape pieces of dough into loaves. Place in two greased
8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 1/1 - inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise
in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1
hour. Bake at 400° F about 30 minutes or until done. Remove
from pans and place on wire racks to cool.
