White Bread Recipe

For those of you who've tasted my bread, and want more...here's the recipe. :-) Courtesy of Fleischmann's.
2 cups milk
3/4 cups sugar
8 tsp salt
3/4 cups margarine(I use real butter)
6 cups warm water( 105-115 deg. F)
4 pkgs yeast (or 9 tsp)
24 cups unstifted flour

I usually make 1/2 batches, so it fits in my 6qt mixer better. Scald milk: stir in sugar, salt and margarine. Stir yeast in large bowl, (or mixer)with your warm water). Add lukewarm milk mixture and 1/2 the flour: beat until smooth. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board: knead until smooth and elastic, about 10-12 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover, let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Cover: let rest 15 minutes. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces.(or 8 depending on your loaf pan size). Roll each piece into a 14x9 rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in 9x5x3 inch loaf pans. Cover, let as many as will fit in the oven rise in warm place, free from draft, until double in bulk, about 1 hour( about 50 minutes usually in ABQ) Cover remaining loavex and put in cooler place, free from draft until double in bulk. Bake at 400 degrees F about 30 minutes(20 in my oven) or until done. Cool on wire racks.

Enjoy. Can use up to 1/2 whole wheat flour and still tasty, just cut down on the flour, and keep a moister but not too sticky dough when kneading.
