Ingredients

  • 5.5 cups Warm Water
  • 7 tsp Yeast
  • 2 Tbsp. Salt
  • 3 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 11 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 4 Tbsp. Butter melted

Instructions

  • Spray 4 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In an extra-large mixing bowl, add warm water. Sprinkle yeast over water and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add salt, sugar and flour and mix until well combined. Divide dough evenly among prepared bread loaf pans. Cover pans and let rise in a warm place until dough reaches top of pans. 
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30-45 minutes until the bread is a golden brown. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for an additional 10 minutes. 

Notes

I have also baked these in mini loaf pans for about 25 minutes before brushing the tops with melted butter and baking an additional 5-10 minutes. 
To freeze, let the loaf of bread cool completely and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place entire loaf in a freezer bag and remove all air before sealing.
