3. Shape dough into 6 equal pieces. Put in greased bread pan and let rise till doubled. Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 min.

Note from Paula: This is a really heavy bread dough to mix! The Bosch mixer is really the only mixer I would recommend making this bread. This is the beauty of the Bosch Universal Mixer because its 800 watt motor has no trouble with this heavy dough or for that matter any heavy dough. The Bosch can need 25 pounds of dough at a time!! Humm....do I sound like I love my bosch? :)
