Ingredients

2 servings

1 package active dry yeast ((2 ¼ teaspoons))
¼ cup warm water ((110°F, 43°C))
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
2 cups milk (*scalded, see notes)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
6 -6.5 cups all purpose flour

Steps

Combine yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar together. Rest 10 minutes until foamy*.
In a large bowl combine cooled scalded milk (see notes), remaining sugar, salt, and butter.
Add 2 cups of flour to the milk mixture. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
Continue adding flour to the mixture while stirring to make a dough that holds together and isn't sticky. You will need between 6 and 6 ½ cups of flour total.
Place the dough on a lightly floured counter and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and lightly cover with plastic wrap. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 60-70 minutes.
Punch the dough down and turn onto a cutting board. Divide the dough in half gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 8x12 inches. Roll the rectangle into an 8-inch log.
Place the dough seam side down into 2 greased (or parchment lined) 8x4 loaf pans. Let rise about 30-40 minutes until doubled (about 1 inch over the top of the loaf pan). Preheat the oven to 400°F while the dough is rising.
Bake bread for 25-30 minutes or until browned.
