Instructions: In a large bowl, combine starter, milk, dry milk, honey, ginger and 1 1/2 cups flour; beat well. Add butter, salt and 1 1/2 cups cups flour, mixing well. Continue to add flour as needed to form a stiff dough. On a lightly- floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to coat surface.

Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about two hours. Turn out dough, divide in half and shape into loaves. Place in two well-greased 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 2 hours. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 45 minutes or until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
