2 1/2cwarm water
4 1/2tspinstant yeast2 packets
5tbspbuttermelted
4tbspsugar
2 1/2tspsalt
Instructions
Add the water and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water the add and whisk. Mix the flour and salt together. Let it proof for 10-15 minutes.
Using dough hooks, add the flour one cup at a time with the mixer speed at low-medium until the dough comes together. Next, turn the speed to medium-high to knead the dough for 7-8 minutes. Turn the dough into an oiled surface, not floured. Shape it into a ball then place it into a buttered bowl to rise.
Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it in half. Roll each half into rectangles then roll into logs. Pinch the seams and place rolls into buttered loaf pans. Let them rise again until doubled in size. Brush the risen loads with melted butter for a shiny top; optional.
Bake the loaves in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20-30 minutes**.
