6 cups hot water
3 TBS yeast
2/3 cup sugar
2 TBS salt
1/2 cup butter or shortening
16 cups flour
1. In bowl of large mixer, mix water, sugar, and 6 cups flour together until combined.
2. Add yeast and mix.
3. Add salt and butter and mix.
4. Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl and not sticky. (You may not need the entire 10 cups of flour, I usually don't add it all).
5. Cover bowl and let raise until double in size, about an hour.
6. Beat dough down and shape into loaves. Place in 6 greased bread pans. Let raise until doubled in size, about an hour.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 350℉ for 30 minutes.
8. Place on wire racks to cool. If desired brush tops of hot bread with butter.
Yield 6 loaves of bread
