Put hot water and salt in mixer bowl. Add oil and honey. Stir in one-half of the flour. Blend until smooth.
3
Sprinkle in dry yeast. Blend well.
4
Add enough more flour to cause the dough to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a ball. (Amount of flour needed depends upon the humidity and moisture content of the wheat.)
5
Knead in the mixer for 10 minutes or until dough is glossy and elastic. It will be a soft dough.
6
Turn off the oven. Coat hands and bread board with oil (so you can shape moist dough). Shape the dough into three large or four medium loaves. Put into greased loaf pans. Place in warm oven for 20 minutes, then set the oven to bake at 350F.
7
Let the bread continue to bake for 35 to 40 minutes until browned and will fall out of the pan when tipped. Turn onto cooling rack, brush crust with butter and let cool. (This bread keeps longer than most because it has no milk or eggs. It is excellent toasted.)
