Coolrise White Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 1/2 to 6 1/2 c. flour
2 pkg. active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 c. softened margarine
2 1/4 c. hot tap water

Preparation

Combine 2 cups of the flour, the undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Stir to blend.
Add margarine and hot tap water.
Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl occasionally.
Add 1 more cup flour and beat at high speed for 1 minute or until thick and elastic.
Gradually stir in enough of remaining flour with wooden spoon to make a soft dough which leaves the sides of the bowl.
Turn out onto a floured board.
Knead 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover with a plastic wrap, then a towel (on the kneading board).
Let rest 20 minutes, then punch down; make into loaves and place in two greased bread pans.
Brush tops lightly with oil.
Let raise. Bake at 400\u00b0 for 30 to 40 minutes.
May cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, also.
