White Bread (Scone Dough)

6 1/2-7 c. all purpose white flour
2 tbsp. instant dry yeast
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1 1/4 c. water
1 c. milk, scalded
2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Scald milk and cool. Add water, yeast and sugar while milk is still warm but not hot. Add oil and salt. Beat in 1/2 of the flour for 2-3 minutes. Knead in the rest of the flour. Let raise once until double in size. Form into 2 loaves in bread pans. Let raise again. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes.

For scones, roll out pieces of dough to about 1/2 inch thick, deep fry until golden brown. Serve with butter, honey butter or jam.
