["Combine the yeast, water and honey in a large warm bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes or until the yeast softens.", "Stir in the butter and salt and 3 cups of flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon.", "Add the remaining flour in increments until the dough become too stiff to stir, then place the dough on a lightly floured surface.", "Knead for about 6 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessart, until the dough become smooth and elastic. Do not overknead!", "Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 2 hours or until doubled in bulk. (I find that sometimes it only takes an hour, make sure to check!).", "Grease two 8 1/2\" x 4 1/2\"" loaf pans. Punch the dough down to deflate it and divide it in half. Form each half into a smooth loaf and place in a prepared pan.""
