Ingredients

  • 6 cups unbleached flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 pkg)
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 1/4 cups warm water (110 )

Method

  • In large mixing bowl, dump all ingredients together and stir until blended well.
  • Cover with a towel and lid (for weight) and let stand overnight.
  • DO NOT STIR OR KNEAD.
  • In the morning, prep 3 loaf pans by greasing well with shortening or butter. Pour batter direct from bowl into the loaf pans, dividing the dough evenly.
  • Bake immediately in pre-heated 350° oven for 30 minutes. Bread is done when golden brown and when tapped lightly gives a hollowed sound.
  • Remove from pans immediately and let cool on wire rack.
  • *If mixture looks too dry you can add extra water as needed.
  • **Options - Sprinkle sesame seeds or dried onion flakes to the top of the bread if desired.
  • Freeze baked bread (wrap well and place in freezer safe bag) when completely cooled for later use. Shelf/counter life of baked bread is 3-4 days maximum.
