Grandma's Bread

Its been a long time since I've made a regular loaf of bread, not to mention white bread. This is my grandma's recipe. She has made bread all her life. She is 89 and still making bread-but now with a mixer!

For 2 loaves:

1 T. yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water

2 T. butter

2 tsp salt

2 cups water

2 T. honey

6 cups white flour

Add water, honey, salt, yeast mixture, butter, and 2 cups flour. Beat until well mixed. Add rest of flour and knead for 10 minutes. Rise until doubled. Rise in pans. Bake 325 for 30 minutes.

Notes to self:

I kept the dough a little more sticky by using 5 1/2 cups flour, not 6. Didn't knead for 10 minutes, only about 4 minutes. Also, baked it in a steam oven, just to experiment. Didn't seem to make a significant difference!
