Step 1: In medium saucepan, heat first 4 ingredients until butter has melted and reaches a temperature of 100 - 110 degrees.
Step 2: In large mixing bowl combine warm liquid, 1 cups all-purpose flour and remaining ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed with paddle attachment. Change attachment to dough hook and in 1/2 cup increments add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough.
Step 3: Knead at Speed 2 with spiral dough hook until a dough starts to clean sides of bowl. Continue to knead until a satin ball has formed, about 2 more minutes.
Step 4: Place dough in oiled bowl, cover and let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
Step 5: Spray two loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Punch down dough and divide into two balls and shape to fit loaf pans. Cover and place in warm place to rise until doubled in size, 45-60 minutes.
Step 6: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40-50 minutes until deep golden brown and loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. If desired brush tops with butter.
