Divide the dough into two 9x4" greased bread pans and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. |
| 5. |
Place in a cold oven for 10 minutes at 200-250 °F (90-120 °C) and then increase to 350 °F (175 °C) for 40 minutes. (If you have any hot spots in your oven be sure to check your bread early on.) |

Remove from oven and loosen the edges with a knife and place on cooling rack. |

Don't be afraid to cut into the bread while it's still hot. It will get squishy but tastes like heaven! |
