#528 - honey white bread

The other day we ran out of white bread and Pepe really only eats white bread, so I made this recipe from Taste of Home.  Yummy!

Ingredients

• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast (I just used one packet and it worked)
• 2-1/2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 8 to 8-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add honey, butter, salt and 5 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a floured board; 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 and shape into two loaves. Place in greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.

I think I will try to always make homemade bread...so much better!
