FOR THE BREAD:
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup molasses

6 cups bread flour, divided use
3 tbsp butter, softened

Stir in remaining flour and mix well either with your hands or in a mixer with dough hooks. Knead for 5-10 minutes. Put in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
