1 cake yeast
1 1/2 c. lukewarm water
4 c. sifted flour
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. onion soup mix

Dissolve yeast in water. Stir dry ingredients, stir into yeast mixture. Work dough with hands until it will absorb no more flour. Knead dough on slightly floured board until it is no longer sticky.

Place dough in buttered bowl, cover, let rise until doubled in size. Punch down and turn it out onto floured board. Divide into 2 parts. Shape each piece into long narrow loaf. Place in pans, cover and let rise again. Brush with butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
