Ingredients:
6 cups hot water (120 degrees)
3/4 cup melted Crisco
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp instant yeast
1/4 -1/2 cups powdered milk
6 cups wheat flour, divided
6 Tbsp vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup soy lecithin
6 Tbsp vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup soy lecithin
2 Tbsp salt
6 +/- cups white bread flour
6 +/- cups white bread flour
Directions:
- In a *Bosch mixer, mix water, Crisco, sugar, yeast and powdered milk together.
- Add at least 2 cups wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, and lecithin and mix until smooth before adding salt.
- Add remaining wheat flour and continue to add white bread flour until it pulls completely from sides of the bowl.
- Knead on high for 7-8 minutes.
- Form into loaves. Place in well-greased loaf pans. Let rise* till it reaches top of loaf pans.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
- Rub butter on top of hot bread.
Makes 5 large loaves.
*Stacie says: "This recipe calls for only one rising, which is after the loaves are formed. This is because of the special kneading action of the Bosch mixer. If you are not using a Bosch, and are using a Kitchenaid or other type mixer, you need to let the entire dough ball rise once in a greased bowl, covered, until doubled in size, before punching down and shaping into loaves for a second rising."
