Bread

3 ¾ c. warm water

2 Tbsp dry yeast

¼ c. honey

3 c. flour

2 tsp salt

2 c. flour

¼ c. softened butter or oil

3-4 c. flour

Combine water, yeast and honey; let stand 10 minutes. Add 3 c. flour and salt, mix with electric mixer. Add 2 c. flour and butter. Add 3-4 c. flour until it’s flexible and not too sticky. The more you mix the better. You might want to use your hands at this point. Cover with a towel and let rise one hour until it doubles.

Knead. Let rise another hour. Knead again. Put in three greased loaf pans. Cover with a towel. Let rise 30-45 minutes.

Put in cold oven and turn to 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pans to cool completely.
