Bread 2 Loaves

Combine 1/2 C milk and 1/2 C water, scald and let stand.

1 C “almost hot” water, add to this 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp sugar and 1 Tbls yeast, stir and let stand.

In mixing bowl, mix 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 Tbls oil, 1/4 C sugar and ½ C potato flakes. Add yeast mixture, then, slowly add scalded milk/water, (slowly enough not to cook the eggs). Add 6 cups flour, knead dough 15 minutes with kitchen aid, cover, let rise. Punch down with greased hands. Shape into 2 loaves, put into greased loaf pans, cover and let rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn onto cooling rack, butter tops and let cool.

This can be done with all white, all wheat, or a combination of both. It takes a time or two to work out exactly how it will work best for you. I like a combination, but my favorite is with whole Spelt flour (not wheat). But if you try it, just make it your own way, this just gives you a basic idea.
