White Batter Bread

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
6-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 packages active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons butter
More butter
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons butter; blend at low speed until combine, then beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Gradually stir in rest of flour by hand to make a stiff batter. Cover and let rise until double, about 1/2 hour. 
Stir down batter and spread in two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until batter reaches the tops of the pans, about 20-30 minutes. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and firm. Remove from pans and brush tops with butter.
