Ingredients
- Bread Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 Cups of warm water
- 1 Tbsp. of rapid rising dry yeast
- 1/2 Cup of sugar
- 2 tsp. of salt
- About 6 Cups of all purpose flour
Preparation
Step 1
Bread Directions:
Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar together in a large mixing bowl, until nearly disolved
Mix in the salt and then 5 of the 6 cups of flour
If the dough is still sticky, add the remaining cup of flour. If it is still too sticky, add another ½ cup of flour
Mix until it forms a ball, and then cover with a cloth or plastic wrap
Let the dough ball rise in the bowl until it doubles in size (1-2 hours)
Divide the risen dough in half
Roll out each ball into a large rectangle (the length of your baking sheet)
Starting at a long edge, roll each rectangle, until your dough is shaped like a jelly roll
Place both loaves on the baking sheet, with spacing on each side
Cover and let rise until the loaves become as large as you prefer
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, until it just starts to turn golden
Immediately rub the top of the bread with butter, to give it a shine
