    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (2 packets)
    2 1/2           cups  warm milk -- (110F to 115F)
       1/2           cup  honey
    6        tablespoons  butter -- melted , plus
    2        tablespoons  butter -- reserved for greasing bowl and butter top
    1         tablespoon  kosher salt
    7               cups  all-purpose flour

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast, warm milk and honey.  Swirl 
with your fingers or a spoon to dissolve the yeast.  Allow to sit 
until the yeast starts to bubble and becomes aromatic, about 5 min.

Add butter and 4 cups of flour, mix on low using dough hook, until 
smooth.  Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (mine takes 
the whole 3 additional cups) add salt.  Allow to knead for about 5 
min.  You should have a ball of tacky (not sticky) dough at this point.

Turn onto a floured board; knead about 10 turns.  Place in a greased 
bowl, turning once to grease top.  Cover with a damp cloth and let 
rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down and shape into two loaves. Place in greased 9" x 5" 
loaf pans.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45-60 
min.  Preheat oven to 350F for glass and dark pans (375F for light 
metal pans).  Brush tops with melted butter.

Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.  Remove from pans 
and brush tops and sides with melted butter.

Allow breads to cool before slicing.  Or at least TRY to wait.

YIELD: 2 Loaves, about 16 slices for total of 2 loaves
