These tall golden loaves have wonderful homemade flavor and a texture that also makes this bread ideal for toast and sandwiches. It's a terrific way to round out a hearty penny-pinching meal.Ruth VonLienen, Marengo, Iowa Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon salt |
8-1/2 to 9 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of water. Add the remaining water, dry milk, oil, sugar, salt and 3 cups of flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

4. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Brush with butter. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
