The easiest bread ever, unless you buy it!

This white bread recipe is the easiest I have ever found. You don't have to let the bread rise, preheat the oven or fuss with it. I used my stand mixer with the dough hook. You can do it by hand, just mix in a bowl then knead for 3-4 minutes.

2 packages yeast
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 3/4 - 7 cups flour
1 egg, beaten

Place 2 1/4 cups warm (105-115 F) in a bowl, sprinkle yeast in and whisk.
Blend in honey, oil and salt.
Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. If using the mixer, dough will pull away from the bowl.
Knead for 3-4 minutes on a floured board, or in the mixer.
Divide dough between two greased pans. Brush beaten egg on top.

Place bread pans on a cookie sheet into a cold oven.. Set for 375. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when knocked on. Remove bread from pans and place on a wire rack to cool.
