Batter Bread

FG: I got this recipe from a friend named Linda when I was living in Connecticut. It is a yeast dough that does not need to be kneaded. It is beaten with a hand mixer instead.

4 - 4 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
2 pkg. yeast
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. butter

Heat the milk, water and butter until the butter has melted. Let cool to about 105° - 115° F (will feel slightly warm to the touch) and add the rest of the ingredients. Using a mixer, beat well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise. Beat down, turn into a greased bread pan. Cover and let rise until batter comes to the top of the pan.

Bake in 375° F oven for 40 - 50 minutes until brown and it sounds hollow when tapping the bottom of the loaf.
