Ingredients

2 1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
5 1/2-6 cups all-purpose flour


Instructions

1In a microwave safe bowl or cup, warm the milk until it is warm to the touch, 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit.

2In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the milk, sugar, yeast, salt, melted butter, and 5 cups of flour. Knead on a low setting for 1 minute until combined, Slowly increase speed and add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough forms a smooth and elastic ball that is soft and tacky, but not sticky.

3Put the dough ball into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 90 minutes until double in size.

4After 90 minutes, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll or press each piece into a 9-inch by 7-inch rectangle. Roll each lengthwise into a tight roll and pinch the ends shut.

5Transfer each loaf into a lightly greased 9-inch by 5-inch bread loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 60 minutes until double in size.

6Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

7Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan and letting it cool completely.
