Heather's Homemade Bread


2 ½ c. warm water
2 Tb. yeast
3 Tb. sugar
2 tsp. salt
3 Tb. melted butter
6 cups "Better for Bread" flour (don't use all purpose!) + (1 cup to knead in)

Combine water and yeast in a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid. While yeastbegins to work, grease bread pans. (I like to use shortening). Then tothe water and yeast, add remaining ingredients. After all is combined,knead for 5-6 minutes. Only use that 7th cup of flour a little at a timeas the dough is kneading if it’s too sticky. Sometimes I only need partof it. Remove dough and divide into 3 sections. You can make 3 loaves ofbread, or you can divide into rolls. Cover each pan with a towel and letrise (in oven with a bowl of warm water) for 1 hour. Bake at 350 for18-20 minutes. SO GOOD!
