Ingredients

• 3 c. flour
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 pkg. fast-rise yeast
• 3/4 c. water
• 1/4 c. milk
• 2 tbsp. butter

Directions

1. Set aside 1 cup of flour. In large bowl, mix remaining flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Heat water, milk, and butter to 125 to 130 degrees (hot to touch). Stir into dry mix. Mix in only enough reserved flour to make soft dough. On floured surface, knead for 4 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each into an 8 × 5 inch rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 5 1/2 × 3 1/2 × 1 3/4 inch loaf pans, or on greased baking sheet. Cover. Place loaf pans in large shallow pan that is half-filled with hot tap water, or place baking sheet over large shallow pan that is half-filled with boiling water, for 15 minutes to raise dough. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
