1 pkg. yeast
1 1/4 c. warm water
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
3 c. all-purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in honey. Add butter, salt and 2 cups of flour. Beat on low speed with mixer until blended. Increase to high speed; beat 1 minute. Scrape bowl and beat 1 minute more. Stir in remaining flour (1 cup). Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan or 3 (5 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/4 inch) loaf pans. Punch batter down by stirring 30 strokes. Spoon into pan. Let rise, covered, in warm place for 30-40 minutes or until batter rises to edge of pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Sounds hollow when thumped with finger if done.
