Directions:
In a large bowl, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir in yeast and let stand until bubbly (about 15 minutes). Beat in about 5 cups of flour to make a thick batter. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead for 10 to 20 minutes. Put in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch dough down and form into dinner rolls, French bread, etc. Let rise until they are the right size and then bake in a 375º oven until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was handed down by the owners of the Sheep Shed in Nampa. They raised sheep and did tours for school children. There is a huge Basque population in Idaho and if you go out far enough you can still see Basque sheepherders with their flocks of sheep in the hills.
