Dissolve the yeast into warm milk (110-115 degrees)
2
Add the honey, salt and melted butter
3
Add 6 cups of flour and mix
4
While mixing add additional flour until the result is a single mass ball that pulls away from the mixer bowl
5
Turn out the dough mass and knead for approximately 6 minutes our until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6
Place the dough ball into an oiled bowl; turn once to coat evenly, then set aside to rise for approximately 2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size. Do not skimp on this as the resulting density to the bread is obvious.
7
After the rise turn the dough onto a floured surface and knock down the mass, divide into two equal portions and place in loaf pans.
8
Allow the dough to rise in the loaf pan until it extends 1'' above the rim of the pan.
9
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes or until the crust is dark and crisp.
