Joyce's Amish Bread

In a small bowl
1 TB yeast
1 TB sugar
1/2 cup warm water

set aside and let the yeast start to work

In a Kitchen Aide Mixer mix
2 TB's Margarine
2 TB's Sugar
2 tsps Salt
2 cups VERY hot water

Mix until cool enough to add yeast- add yeast mixture, stir.

Add 5-6 cups of flour. Unbleached is more nutritious and works the same.

Dough should be soft and somewhat sticky...but not gooey.
Cover bowl and set aside to rise 30 minutes.

Pat down and let rise 15 minutes
Pat down and let rise 15 minutes
Pat down and let rise 15 minutes

Divide dough in half and roll with rolling pin, each half on a floured board...about 1 inch depth. Air bubbles will go out to the edge. Toll them up and place on a cookie sheet.

Slit the tops then coat with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 TB of milk
Let rise a few minutes then bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees
