5-6 cups Flour

1/2 cup Butter or Margarine softened

2 Tbl Yeast

1/2 cup Sugar

2 eggs

Directions:

Combine 2 cups Flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Stir well. Add Margarine and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Beat at medium speed for one minute. Add eggs and 1 more cup of flour. Beat on high for 1 minute until smooth. Stir in enough flour gradually to make a soft dough ball. Brush top of dough with Olive Oil and cover with a clean towel and let it sit for 2 hours at room temperature or 24 hours in the refrigerator.

On a lightly floured surface Knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Grease 2 large loaf pans, divide the dough into 2 balls and place in pan, brushing another coat of Olive Oil on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-minutes.

This recipe is also great for pizza dough, using your choice of Olive Oil around the outside of the crust before you bake.
