Mix yeast, water and 1 teaspoon sugar to bubbly stage. Mix rest of ingredients and yeast mixture; let set 12 to 15 minutes before working in more flour. Let rise until double in warm spot for about 1 hour. (You can warm oven a few minutes and raise dough in there.) Shape into 4 loaves and rise again in well greased pans, bottom and sides. To get air bubbles out, use a rolling pin before shaping loaves. If you want a soft crust, brush with butter or shortening while loaves are hot.
