Lunch: Homemade Bread Recipe

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105 ° to 115 °)
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, butter, sugar, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down and divide in half. Shape into two loaves and place in greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 min.
Preheat oven to 400 °. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, covering with foil during last 5 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
