Warm a bowl with hot water to prepare for the yeast mixture.

Measure out 1 1/2 cups of warm water and pour it into the warmed bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the warm water and stir to activate the yeast.

Measure out 6 3/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast and add it to the water and sugar mixture.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and place it in the oven with the light on to let the yeast rise for about 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 cups of all-purpose flour and 8 teaspoons of salt.

Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and add it to the flour mixture along with the yeast mixture and 5 1/2 cups of warm water.

Mix all ingredients together until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then place it in a greased bowl to rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, shape the dough into a three lump loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Let the dough rise again until it has doubled in size before baking.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
