Yield:
2 - 1 1/2 pound loaves

Ingredients

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • ¾ cup warm water

  • 2 cups milk

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 3 tablespoons margarine

  • 6 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

Directions

  1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm. In a large bowl, stir together yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Set aside to proof.

  2. Add milk, 2 2/3 tablespoons sugar, salt, butter or margarine, flour, and soup mix to the yeast in the bowl. Combine until dough forms, and then turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead until dough is elastic. Oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth, and set aside in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.

  3. Divide dough in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pans. Set aside to rise for 30 minutes.

  4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 40 minutes. Loaf will sound hollow when done.
