Add milk and stir, heating until warm. Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast on top of tepid mixture. Wait a minute and then stir to dissolve.
Move to Kitchen-Aid mixer (bowl), and using dough hook to mix, gradually add 10 1/2 - 11 c. all-purpose flour.
Mix on low speed for 4-5 minutes. Dough should hold together and come away from the sides of the mixing bowl. It should be very elastic-y.
Remove dough to the counter and knead for just a bit.
Place dough ball into large bowl (both dough ball and bowl are greased) and cover with a cloth.
Set in a warm place and let rise until double.
Punch down dough to get rid of air bubbles. Divide into four pieces and shape each into a loaf.
Place in 4x8 bread pans that have been sprayed with a non-stick spray or Crisco shortening (not butter.)
Let loaves rise again until about 1/2 inch above rim of pan.
Place in preheated 400 degree oven.
Bake for 24 minutes.
Remove immediately and turn out onto racks to cool
Yield: four 4x8 loaves of the most delicious bread and a crowd that's gathered around you in the kitchen
Butter the top crusts.
Hand out freshly-baked, thick slices of buttered bread to make instant friends.
You can thank me later. :-)
