Milk-and-Honey White Bread

Ingredients:
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 2 and 1/2 cup of warm milk
- 1/3rd cup of honey
- 1/4th cup of butter, melted
- 2 tsp. of salt
- 8 cups of flour

Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in a warm milk. Add honey, butter, salt, and 5 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.
3. Punch dough down. Divide in half; shape each portion into a loaf. Place in two greased 9-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375 F. for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks until cool.
