Ingredients
5 1/2-6 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. or 1 pkg. instant yeast
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until blended.
- Heat water, milk and butter until 120°-130°. The butter does not need to melt. (If you like, you can use an instant read laser thermometer to make sure temperature is right.)
- Add the warm liquid to the flour mixture.
- Beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Mix in 1 more cup of flour. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Stir in just enough remaining flour so the dough forms a soft ball.
- Knead in a bowl or on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cover with a towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each into a loaf and place seam-side down into greased loaf pans.
- Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400º.
- Bake 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. (Or when a meat thermometer inserted into the bread reads 195-200º.)
- Remove from pans by running a knife around the edges and inverting bread onto a wire rack. Rub tops with butter and let cool.
