Yes ma'am, 2 loaves. Here's the recipe:

2 c milk, scalded, cool to lukewarm
1 T butter
5.5 to 6.5 c flour, this is enough for the bread and to sprinkle on your kneading surface with some left over in my experience.
1 pkt yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
2 T sugar
2 t salt

Scald milk and add butter to melt. I add the sugar and salt to the milk mixture to dissolve while the yeast dissolves in the water and then dump in the yeast mixture and let it sit a couple minutes while I weigh flour. Then add flour a cup at a time until mixed enough to manage kneading and then work in more flour as necessary during that process.
Let rise, punch down and knead about 10 times, divide in half, put into greased pans and let rise again. Then bake 20 minutes at 400*

I cook by feel, sight and taste and have found ambient humidity has an impact on how much flour I use so I don't have exact amounts but that's the range given in this recipe.
Enjoy!
Thanks IM....that is the way I make bread too. Dry...more liquid
wet...more flour. Got it. Thank for posting. Need a simple quick
to make for giving. Thanks again, Aria

I guess I'm proud I figured that out :lol:I never had anyone explain to me that the flour measurement is approximate in a bread recipe. Most recipes don't have a range so I always made bread like I was baking a cake...explains a lot of failures in the past :gig

I have posted that here quite a bit. It is likely a couple of years or so back in the thread though
