    Recipe



    Makes 3 loaves.

    In a large glass, stoneware or plastic bowl, using a
    wooden spoon, stir together starter, 2 cups warm water
    and 2 1/2 cups flour until well blended. Cover
    loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place
    (85ø F) at least 12 hours.

    In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over 1/4 c warm water;
    stir until dissolved.

    In a 2-qt saucepan over low heat, heat milk, sugar,
    salt and 3 Tbsp butter until warm (105 - 115ø F).
    Remove from heat, stir in yeast mixture.

    Stir yeast mixture into starter mixture. Stir in 2
    1/2 cups flour until well blended. Cover loosly with
    plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until almost
    doubled, about 45 minutes to one hour.

    Stir down batter, Gradually stir in enough additional
    flour to make a soft dough, Turn out dough onto
    lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and
    elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.

    Divide dough into thirds, cover and let rest 10
    minutes.

    Shape each third into a loaf. Place each into a
    greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 loaf pan. Cover and let
    rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to one hour.

    Bake in 375 F oven 40 minutes, or until loaves are
    golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
    Immediately remove from pans. Brush tops of hot loaves
    with melted butter. Cool on racks.
