About the Recipe

Ingredients
2 pkgs. Yeast
1 ½ T. garlic salt
3 c. warm water
2 T. cooking oil
¼ c. sugar
8 c. flour (approx.)
Preparation
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, garlic salt and oil. Mix. Stir in enough flour to
make fairly stiff dough. Cover bowl with damp cloth and let rise until double in bulk. Divide dough in 3 parts. Roll into rectangles on a floured surface. Roll up as for jellyroll and tuck ends under. Slit top diagonally 3 or 4 times. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double, about 40 minutes. Brush with water and sprinkle with a little garlic salt.
Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Repeat brushing with water and sprinkle garlic salt. Turn oven to 325 and bake 35 to 40 minutes more. Remove from oven to rack to cool and brush top with butter. This bread freezes real well and yields 3 large loaves.
Variation: I have been know to make thick pizza crust with this dough
