English Muffin Bread

From One Good Thing by Jillee (http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/02/moms-english-muffin-bread.html)

5 1/2 cups warm water
3 packages RAPID RISE yeast
     (You can use regular yeast, but you will need to let is rise TWICE. Once in the bowl, til it reaches the top…and then again in the pans, til it reaches the top. With the RAPID RISE you only need to let it rise once in the pans.)
2 Tablespoons salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
11 cups bread flour (you can use All-Purpose if you want)

Mix altogether, then spoon into (4) well greased loaf pans.  Let rise in pans until dough reaches the top of the pans, and bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. 10 minutes before done, brush with melted butter. Makes 4 loaves. Bread will be moist at first. Allow to COOL COMPLETELY before cutting. Makes terrific toast.
