Bread
(I have put instructions for stirring it by hand or using a mixer.)

2 TBS yeast
3 TBS sugar
2 3/4 c. warm water
---stir, let sit 10 min.

Add: 3 c. flour
4 TBS melted butter
2 tsp. salt
---If you're using a mixer: mix 2 minutes on low level
If you're stirring by hand: stir 200 times
---Slowly add flour up to five more cups, [switch to dough hook (if using a mixer) when it gets thick].

---Once thick: Mixer: Knead with dough hook 5 min.
By hand: knead for 10 minutes
---Let rise 1 hour (covered)

---Punch down dough. Grease two 1.5 quart loaf pans, seperate the dough into 2 equal chunks, and place one chunk of dough into each pan. Cover; let rise 30 min. (*Note: now is a good time to turn on the oven to let it have enough time to preheat.)

---Bake @ 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes
