What you'll need (yields 2 loaves)
1/2 cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
3 tablespoons of butter
2 packets of yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water (about 105-115 degrees)
5-6 cups of flour
Directions:
heat water to 105-115 degrees. add yeast packets and sugar (to activate the yeast)... If it isn't foamy, try tapping a knife at the bottom to bring the foam to the surface. If it doesn't rise- you killed the yeast. It is extremely sensitive.
combine all ingredients together. mix until smooth.
Let your dough rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
AFTER
On a floured surface roll dough out to a rectangle shape
roll up (like a jelly roll) pinching in the edges.
Place in greased loaf pan...either my pan is small or I rolled mine out too far. hahah oh well.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes of until golden brown. Once out of the oven, immediately turn bread onto wire rack and let cool.

Place in greased bowl and let rise for an hour or until doubled in size.
punch dough down. roll out (as seen in pictures above) Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes of until golden brown.
