I found this on the Kitchenaid cooking forums and it is delicious:
Basic White Bread
½ cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 packages active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (105 F to 115 F)
5-6 cups all-purpose flour
Place milk, sugar, salt, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 ½ cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.
Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, and mix about 2 minutes, or until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly stick to the touch.
Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf, and place in greased 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½-inch baking pans. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
Bake at 400 F for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.

YUM!!
:o)
Do you think it would mess up the recipe to use soy milk instead of cow's milk?
Nope, the milk just gives it a bit of flavor. Bread dough is pretty forgiving (that I've found anyway!) as long as the consistency is correct. I have to almost always slightly adjust recipes and either add more flour or water/milk to get it just right.
HTH.
MMMMMM, thanks Jess! I'll try this soon. I've been encouraged to start baking bread, pizza crust and tortillas again lately.
Thanks!!
