INGREDIENTS

• 3 1/4 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 package fast-rising active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups hot (115° to 125° F) water
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

DIRECTIONS

• In large electric mixer bowl combine 2 3/4 cups of the flour, yeast, and salt. Stir to blend dry ingredients thoroughly. In a small bowl combine the hot water, honey, and butter; stir to blend well.
• Add water mixture to flour mixture. Mix to blend, then beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Stir in about 1/2 cup more unbleached flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board or pastry cloth. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny and small bubbles form just under surface (10 to 12 minutes), adding just enough unbleached flour (up to 3/4 cup) to prevent dough from being sticky.
• Turn dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (30 to 40 minutes). Punch dough down, cover with an inverted bowl, and let rest for 10 minutes; then use as directed in recipe.
