Home-Style Yeast Bread

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"

Original Recipe Yield 48 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 7 cups bread flour

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
