Steps

25mins

1

Mix all ingredients together except the margarine. I like to use a bread machine to knead my bread but you can do it by hand. Knead for 10 minutes or until dough becomes stretchy and elastic.
2

Turn your oven on for 3 minutes and then shut off just to get it a little bit warm. Divide your dough into two or three equal balls. Rub each ball all over with margarine or butter. Place each ball into a greased loaf pan and squish it down.
3

Place the loaves into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes and let rise until it's the size that you want it to be. Remove from oven.
4

Preheat oven to 405 Degrees. Cook loaves on center rack until when tapped it sounds hollow inside.
5

Cool on a baking rack. Optional: brush tops with butter. Enjoy!
