Recipe: Granny K's Basic White Bread


1/2 cup Milk
1 1/2 Tbsp Honey
2 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Butter
2 eggs
2 packages Dry Yeast
1 1/2 cup warm Water
5 to 6 cups of all purpose flour

Take 1 1/2 cups of hot tap water and add 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 Tbsp honey, this should just feel hot to your fingers, not burn them, just extra warm.

Add 2 packages of dry yeast. 

Mix this well with large spoon and add salt, butter, and 2 eggs. 

Mix well, add half the flour and mix well again then let set for 5 minutes.

Now stir in enough flour that it gets hard to mix with spoon then turn out onto a floured board.

Start a timer for 10 minutes. Knead and add flour only as needed but knead for the full 10 minutes.

Put into a greased bowl, cover with saran wrap and a towel until it doubles in bulk.

Knead down and make into loafs or rolls or whatever.

Let rise until it is as high as you want from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees. For bread 30-35 minutes, For rolls 20-25 minutes. Test by knocking on the crust to see if it sound hollow.
