Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 oz. pkg yeast
3 cups flour -- divided
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup very warm water
self-sealing zip-type bag (1 gallon size)
bread pan
no-stick cooking spray

Put yeast, 1 - 1/2 cups flour, sugar and salt into the bag. Add
margarine and warm water. Press most of the air out of the bag and
seal. Press and squeeze the bag with your hands until the dough becomes
mixed. Open bag and add last 1- 1/2 cups of flour. Seal the bag again
and keep pressing and squeezing until the flour is worked into the
dough. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more flour if your dough is very sticky.
Unzip the bag and let the dough rest for 20 minutes. This will let the
dough rise. Spray the pan with no-stick cooking spray. Squeeze the
dough down. Then take the dough out of the bag and place it in the
pan. Let the dough rest in the pan in a warm, but not hot, place to
rise. The dough should double its size before baking. This will take
about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the bread for 25 - 30
minutes. Remove the bread from the pan to cool. Source: Boxcar
