2-3/4 cups lukewarm water
2 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 t salt
2 T soft margarine
7 cups sifted flour
In large bowl of electric mixer, combine yeast and water. Stir until yeast is dissolved. Add sugar, butter, and 4 cups of the flour. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour and mix with spoon thoroughly. Turn into lightly greased bowl, cover with damp cloth and let rise until double. Punch down and turn into 2 well greased 6 cup ring molds. Cover with damp cloth and let rise again until double. Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes.
This is good and pretty easy. I bet you could do this in a bread machine, at least for the dough mixing and rising part of it. Once again I don't have a ring mold, so I used a regular bread pan. Delicious out of the oven with lots of butter but after that can be used as toast because it gets a little hard by the next day.
