BIG BATCH HOMEMADE BREAD
"WE BAKED at least two batches of bread each week for our family of six. We also spent hours (or so it seemed) churning the butter to spread on it, which we especially loved to do while it was still warm. Fried chicken never tasted quite as good without homemade bread-and-butter sandwiches."

BIG BATCH BUNS
My mother and I used to whip this up and make all kinds of things: bread, cinnamon rolls, bread sticks, roll little balls of dough in cinnamon and sugar and fry them, roll little balls in melted butter then coat with cinnamon and sugar and put them in a bundt pan for coffee cake....anything we could think of. (and I mean we'd make all those things out of one recipe - that's why it's called Big Batch Buns!!) We'd get one thing baking in the oven and then ask, "what else should we make?" We'd spend all day baking. Ahhh, great memories. I honestly have to say; servings, prep and baking time are a total guess. It depends what you make and how many things you make. :-)

Steps:
- Mix the 1 3/4 cup water, sugar and yeast in a large container and let sit to raise.
- Mix the 3/4 cup sugar, dry milk, salt, oil, flour and hot water.
- Stir both mixtures together and add flour as needed to make dough that is not sticky. (This will be at least 8 cups, maybe more!).
- Kneed for 15 minutes until dough is elastic (this is where the fun family time comes in - let each kid kneed for 5 minutes -- ) Place in a LARGE oiled bowl, cover and place in warm, draft free area to rise. (We always used the large - 32 cup - Tupperware bowl with the lid sealed on. When the lid pops off, it's ready to punch down.).
- Punch down and separate, divide and create!
- Basic baking instructions are to bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the quality of your bread. Use unbleached all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and sea salt for the best results.
- Activate the yeast properly: To activate the yeast, dissolve it in warm water (105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help your bread to rise properly.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in the bread-making process. It helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: After you have kneaded the dough, place it in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place (75-80°F) for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature (375°F) will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
