this is the recipe for the bread I used:
Ingredients:
- 2 envelopes active dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water (about 105°)
- 1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus
- 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter, for bowl
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt
- 6 -7 cups all-purpose flour, plus
- more flour, for dusting
Directions:
Prep Time: 1 day
Total Time: 1 day
- 1 Sprinkle yeast over warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- 2 Add honey, butter and salt; whisk until yeast is dissolved.
- 3 Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- 4 Add 3 cups flour; mix on low speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- 5 Add 3 more cups of flour; mix until incorporated.
- 6 On a lightly floured surface, knead dough, adding up to 1 cup more flour as needed; knead until smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky, about 5 minutes (I do this with my dough hook in the mixer).
- 7 Let rise in a large buttered bowl, covered with plastic wrap in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
- 8 Preheat oven to 400.
- 9 Butter two 4 ½ by 8 ½ inch loaf pans.
- 10 Punch down the dough; transfer to a lightly floured surface.
- 11 Divide dough in half.
- 12 Gently knead each piece until smooth.
- 13 Shape each piece into a loaf, tucking sides underneath to form a seam down the middle.
- 14 Place loaves, seam side down, in buttered pans.
- 15 Let rise until dough reaches top of pans, 15 to 20 minutes.
- 16 Brush top of loaves with butter.
- 17 Bake until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom (briefly turn out loaf to test), 35 to 45 minutes.
- 18 Let cool slightly in pans on wire racks; unmold.
- 19 Let cool until just warm before slicing.
