Recipe



Mix together first 6 ingredients (plus any leftovers, etc.). Add two cups flour and risen yeast. Beat well until yeast and flour are absorbed. Add more flour a cup at a time, and continue kneading in more flour until dough will no longer absorb any more. Dough should be smooth and elastic by this time.
Grease a large bowl and place dough inside bowl. Turn dough in bowl to grease all sides and cover with a towel. Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place free of drafts (inside an oven with the oven light on works well). Remove dough from bowl, punch down and let rest 5 minutes, then form into loaves or buns. Rise for another hour. Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes 2 large loaves or 3 smaller loaves.


*For an even nicer texture, punch dough down and let rise a 2nd hour before forming into loaves or buns.
