Now, you can serve it any way you like, but I prefer it toasted with a little butter and either peach jam or apple butter. Yum!!
- 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (1 1/2 lbs.)
- 2 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 1/4-oz. packets Instant Yeast
- 1/4 cup melted butter, divided
- Cornmeal for dusting pan
In your mixer with dough hook, mix together flour, water, salt, sugar and yeast until moist with no dry pockets. The dough will be shaggy and very sticky. Spray a piece of plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray and place it on top of dough. Put your bowl in a warm draft-free place until the dough looks puffy and has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
While the dough rises, spray two loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.
Divide the dough in half (you might want to spray your hands so it won’t stick to your hands), and put into the two pans. Cover again with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise another 30 minutes. While dough is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the pans on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes. Take out of oven and brush bread with half the melted butter. Return to the oven and bake another 10 minutes.
Turn loaves out of the pans on to a cooling rack immediately and brush all surfaces with the remaining butter.
Cool completely before slicing.
