Pre-heat to -375 f

1. Hot water should be hot to touch but be tolerable to the tough. Too hot will kill the yeast. Pour hot water directly into mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugars onto hot water. Stir until moistened and a little frothy. Add salt and oil.

2. Add 3 cups of the flour and with DOUGH HOOK allow to begin to mix. When flour has begun to mix in - add egg and continue mixing. Allow to mix thoroughly. Begin to add remaining flour about a 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup at a time mixing thoroughly after each. Stop adding flour when the dough forms a ball and "cleans" the mixing bowl. It should be slightly sticky and a small amount may still stick to the bottom of the bowl. At this point, allow to mix for 5 - 10 minutes.

3. Pour a tsp. of vegetable oil in the bottom of a large bowl. Remove dough from mixer and place in bowl. Use dough to oil the bottom and sides of bowl and flip over. Place plastic wrap over bowl and place in a warm spot (near the pre-heated oven).

4. Let rise to double in size. Punch down and flip over. At this point you can form your loaves and place in pans or allow to rise again if you'd like.

5. Grease loaf pans.

6. When you are ready, divide dough and form halves into loaves in your preferred method. Place in loaf pan and allow to rise in warm spot until double in size.

7. Bake until nicely browned.

8. Remove from over and butter tops. Turn out of pans right away onto a wire rack or lay loaves on sides on counter remembering to flip to the other side in about ten minutes.

Honey butter tastes awesome on fresh bread!
