Frozen Bread Dough

 

 

6-1/4 cup unbeached flour or bread flour
2 pkg. dry yeast
2 cups skim milk
3 tbsp. butter , melted
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten 

    In a mixing bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour and yeast.  In a saucepan, heat milk, butter, sugar and salt just until warm (115 to 120º), stirring constantly until butter almost melts.  Add liquid to dry ingredients in mixing bowl along with eggs.  Beat at low speed 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl constantly.  Beat 3 minutes at high speed.  Stir in remaining flour as you can, mixing in with a spoon.  Turn out onto a lightly-floured surface.  Knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough, smooth and elastic,.6 - 8 minutes total).  Divide dough into thirds.  Shape each portion into loaves or rolls.  Store in freezer container with a double thickness of waxed paper between.

 

  Makes 3 loaves.
