    List of Ingredients




    1 pkg. yeast
    4 C. flour
    2 t. salt
    2 C. lukewarm water
    1 T. sugar

    Recipe



    Dissolve yeast in 1 C. of the lukewarm water. While yeast softens, sift flour, sugar, and salt together in a lrg. mixing bowl, then stir in dissolved yeast. Add just enough of the second cup of water to hold dough together. Mix until you have a soft, rather sticky dough.
    Cover with a cloth and set bowl in a warm spot and ler rise until doubled in size.
    When dough is high and spongy, punch it down with your fist and give it a good sound beating with your hands.
    Divide dough into 2 parts and place each part in a greased 6" round baking dish (casserole dish is fine) OR put into greased french bread loaf pans. Cover again and let rise until it reaches top of baking pan.
    Brush tops with melted butter and bake at 400' for about an hour.
