   Fold in Salt,Oil and Flour. Use more Flour as needed to Knead bread.

5. 5

   Let Bread rise for 50 minutes, then punch down. Let rise 40 more minutes then shape into loaves. This makes approximately 5 loaves. Put loaves into greased pans.

6. 6

   Let loaves rise for 20 minutes.

7. 7

   Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

8. 8

   When you remove the loaves from the oven, take a stick of Butter or Margarine and rub it over the top crust of the bread for a softer crust. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes and remove to cooling racks.

   Now when my mom makes this Bread, she makes half of the loaves with Cinnamon,Sugar,a little melted Butter and Raisins (my Husbands favorite) Make those loaves just like you would a Cinnamon Roll - flatten the dough out and spread the rest of the ingredients on the dough, then roll back up and put in pans.
