First wash your hands, brush your hair and smooch your clothes to remove any loose hair.
Stir flour and salt together and make a well in the middle.
Dissolve sugar in 1 1/2 cup of water and sprinkle yeast over top, stir and allow yeast to raise about 1 inch above water.
Pour margarine, yeast mixture and 7 cups of water in well in flour and with 1 hand pull small amounts of flour into wet mixture while turning the bowl with other hand. As you pull the flour from walls of well, make sure to crush lumps, keep doing this until the dough ball is about like mashed potatoes, at this point you will have a big ball of dough in the middle and loose flour out around the sides and bottom of the bowl. Put bowl on a kitchen chair, use some of the flour to rub the dough from your hands and allow it to mix into the bread. keep sprinkling more of the flour from the edges over the dough and kneeding until this flour is all used up. Keep using flour to remove excess dough from your hands and the sides and bottom of the bowl and mixing this into the bread.
Continue kneeding, pulling edges in and adding flour until you have about 1/4 cup of flour left, save this for kneeding the bread down after it has risen the first time.
Cover dough with clean tea towel and cover with a blanket, place in warm area, allow to double in size about 1 1/2 hours. Kneed down using part of the remaining flour. Allow to raise again until doubled in size, punch down, grease hands and make into loafs, place in greased pans. Let raise to about double the size and bake for about 1 hour until golden. remove from heat and grease tops with butter. |
