Ingredients

  • 3 cups cool water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons yeast
  • 1 stick butter, mostly melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 7 cups flour

Instructions

  1. In mixing bowl, combine cool water, sugar and yeast. Do not stir. Let the yeast "proof." Add the egg, melted butter and salt. Stir well. Stir in 7 cups flour.
  2. When the dough becomes difficult to stir, pour dough into a clean bowl that is sprayed with Pam. Cover loosely with plastic and towel. Let rise until double in size.
  3. Punch down dough and pour dough out onto a well-greased counter. Divide and shape into loaves. Loosely cover again and let rise again until double.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. One recipe makes 3 loaves.
