English Muffin Bread     

Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups warm water (around 110 degrees)
1 1/2 packages (1/4 oz envelopes) Rapid Rise yeast
1 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
5 1/2 cups bread flour
Melted butter

Preparation:
Combine the warm water, yeast, salt, sugar and bread flour. Mix JUST until combined; the dough will be extremely sticky and shaggy. Spoon into two greased loaf pans, about 3/4 full, and let the dough rise in the pans until it reaches the top of the pans, about 30-45 minutes. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter about 10 minutes before the loaves are done. Cool loaves in pans for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack before slicing; the bread will be very moist and needs to cool all the way to "dry". Serve toasted.

You can use regular yeast, but the dough will need to rise twice; once in the mixing bowl and once in the pans. With the Rapid Rise yeast, the dough only needs to rise once.
