Melt ¼ C of butter.

Using a dough hook, mix on low until smooth.
Add remaining flour a cup at a time until a ball of dough forms.
Turn mixer on medium and knead dough for 5 minutes until the dough is a nice and smooth texture.
If your dough appears sticky add a sprinkle of flour at a time until it becomes tacky.
Flour a board or countertop and knead for 10-15 turns.
In a large bowl melt 1 TBSP butter.
Place dough into the melted butter and flip over to the other side gets coated.
Loosely cover with plastic wrap and a cloth over top. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Place loaves in greased 9-in. x 5-in loaf pans.
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
*If bread starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. When bread is removed from the oven, brush with remaining butter. Serve and enjoy!
