| 1 | tablespoon | Sugar |
| ⅓ | cup | Warm water (110-115 |
| Degrees) | ||
| 2¼ | cup | (to 2 1/2 cups) flour |

Directions
Combine yeast, sugar and water in a large mixing bowl. Add 1½ cups of flour, salt, milk and butter. Mix for 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Punch dough down. Divide in half; shape into two loaves and place in greased 5 ¾ x 3 ⅛ x 2 ¼" pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Brush tops with melted butter. Note: This recipe looks like it would work beautifully in a bread machine on the dough cycle. You might want to watch it as it mixes to make sure a nice ball is forming and add more flour or liquids as needed. Be sure that melted butter has cooled! You could probably bake it in the bread machine as a single loaf too. Yields: 2 loaves.
