If you love English muffins, but find the shape and size leaves you wanting more, this is the bread for you. Sliced it can be used for sandwiches or toast.
Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups warm water
6 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tbsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
11 cups plain flour
Method:
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix just until incorporated. It will turn into a very wet, sticky dough. Leave the dough in the bowl and let it rise until double in size. Spoon this sticky dough into four well-greased loaf pans. Let rise in pans until dough reaches the top of the pan. Bake in a preheated 175 degree Celsius oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Ten minutes before done, brush with melted butter. Makes 4 loaves. Bread will be moist at first, allow it to cool completely before slicing. This bread freezes beautifully. I slice it before freezing and just take the number of slices I need from the freezer.
If the idea of four loaves of bread is overwhelming, you can easily and successfully halve the recipe to make two loaves of bread.
Cost: $2.15 for four loaves.

When you say 4 loaves what size bread/loaf tin do you go by? Is it the standard small 20x10cm type? New to bread making in general and would like some guide to go by.
