Directions:Combine 2 cups of flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to blend. Add soft margarine.
Add hot tap water to ingredients in bowl--all at once.
Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl occasionally.
Add eggs, and 1 cup more of flour. Beat with electric mixer at high speed for 1 minute or until thick and elastic. Scrape sides of bowl occasionally.
Stir in remaining flour gradually with a wooden spoon (or with the dough hook of the Kitchen Aid Mixer). Use just enough flour to make a soft dough which leaves sides of bowl. Turn out onto a floured work surface. Round up into a ball.
Knead 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel.
Let rest for 15-20 minutes on counter. Punch down.
Shape into loaf, rolls, braid, etc... (lightly grease pans).
Brush surface of dough with oil. Coer pan loosely with wax paper or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate 2 to 48 hours. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator, uncover, and let set until room temperature.
OR
Let rise at room temperature until almost doubled in bulk- about 1 hour.
Bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes or until done. Bake on lower rack of oven for best results.
Remove from pan immediately and let cool on racks.
Brush with butter while warm, if soft crust is desired.
