2 c. + 4 Tbs. Warm Water | 2 Tbs. Granulated Sugar |
2 pkg. Active Dry Yeast (5 1/2 tsp.) | 3 tsp. Salt |
1/2 c. Butter, melted | 6 1/2 c. All-purpose Flour |
Using a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add warm water and sprinkle in yeast. Let dissolve for a few minutes until yeast becomes foamy. Add melted butter, sugar and salt and mix until combined. Gradually add flour. Once combined, allow your mixer to knead the dough for about five minutes.
Punch dough down and form into six equal sized balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool and cut off the top, remove some of the bread from the inside and fill with soup or dip.
