Frozen Bread Dough

    This makes 3 loaves

     6 1/4 c. unbeached flour or bread flour
            2 pkg. dry yeast
     2 c. skim milk
     3 Tbsp. margaine, melted
            1/3 c. sugar
     2 tsp. salt
    2 eggs, slightly beaten

    In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour and yeast. In a saucepan, heat
    milk, margarine, sugar, and salt just until warm (115 to 120 degrees),
    stirring constantly until margarine almost melts. Add liquid to dry
    ingredients in mixing bowl along with eggs. Beat at low speed for 1/2
    minute, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed.
    Stir in remaining flour as you can,  mixing  in with a spoon. Turn out onto a
    lightly floured surface. Knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that
    is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Divide dough into thirds.
    Shape each portion into loaves or rolls. Store in freezer container with a
    double thickness of waxed paper between.
