Dough should form a ball and pull away from sides of mixing bowl. Knead a few minutes. Let rise. Punch down and form into 2 regular-size loaves (or 3 med.-size loaves). Roll out and shape loaves. Place in greased loaf pans. Let rise until double. Bake on middle rack at 350 degrees until golden on bottoms and tops.
