Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; mix well.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat water and margarine or butter until very warm (120-130 F).
  3. Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients.
  4. Beat at low speed until moistened, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed.
  5. Stir in an additional 2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour until the dough pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in 1/2 to 1 cup more flour until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  7. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and a cloth towel.
  8. Let rise in a warm place (or in a pan of warm water at 95 F) for 15 minutes.
  9. Grease a large cookie sheet or baking pan.
  10. Punch down the dough several times to remove air bubbles.
  11. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and shape each into a round ball.
  12. Place the shaped loaves on the greased cookie sheet.
  13. Using a sharp knife, slash a 1/4-inch deep lattice design on top of each loaf.
  14. Cover and let rise in a warm place for another 15 minutes.
  15. Preheat the oven to 400 F (204ðC).
  16. Uncover the dough and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped on the bottom.
  17. Immediately remove the loaves from the cookie sheet and cool on wire racks.
