Home-Style Yeast Bread
SUBMITTED BY:
Launa Shoemaker
"Everyone likes the tender texture and slightly sweet taste of this homemade bread. When I'm in the mood to bake, I usually double the recipe and share loaves with friends. The dough also makes lovely rolls. -Launa Shoemaker, Midland City, Alabama"

DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, butter, salt, eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface. Divide into thirds. Shape into loaves and place in three greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Excellent! Soft, good tasting bread. I switched one cup of flour to whole wheat, worked out perfectly!

Really easy. I doubled the recipe and got about 5 medium sized loaves. I also used wheat flour for half of the flour instead of all white. Tastes great and makes great sandwich bread.

This was by far the best bread i have ever had or tasted in years. I have never finished one before due to them always becoming hard, not rising etc.. but this bread was soo perfect and really easy to make. Followed the directions to a "T", let it rise then rise again and i came out like the ones you see in MAG's. thanks for this, it really made my day. Will make again and again!

I usally use an old recipe of my mothers that was given to us by a former Sunday school teacher. My mother was out of town so I couldnt get the recipe from her. So I found this recipe since it is very similar. I was worried it wouldnt be as good. It was just fine. The only big difference with this recipe and the one I usally use is that this one uses butter and the other recipe uses shortning. Now I must admit. While this one is good. I think I'll use the one with shortning when I can. But I must admit this one is a close second. A great alternitive recipie to have if I dont have shortning.

The best bread recipe I've tried, hands down! And it was so much easier than many I've tried! My dough didn't rise that well.. I think maybe because I used all-purpose flour? Anyway, it was all still delicious, and I'll try the bread flour next time!
