I just baked these O.O I have not tried to make a yeast loaf in some time and so I am very happy. These should have risen more I know but the fact that they rose at all means I am beginning to understand how yeast works!! Yay 2 ½ Cups of warm water 1 Tbsp. of yeast ½ Cup of sugar 2 tsp. of salt 5-6 Cups of all purpose flour First use a wooden spoon to mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar together in a large mixing bowl, until nearly dissolved. Then mix in the salt, and then 5 of the 6 cups of flour. If the dough is still sticky, add the remaining cup of flour. If it is still too sticky, add another ½ cup of flour. Knead the dough on a floured counter top, until it forms a fairly smooth ball. Lightly flour your large mixing bowl, and then carefully drop the dough back into the bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth. Let the dough ball rise in the bowl until it doubles in size (1-2 hours, depending on your room’s temperature & humidity). Divide the risen dough in half. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray, or optionally use parchment paper. Roll out each ball into a large rectangle (the length of your baking sheet). Then starting at a long edge, roll each rectangle, until your dough is shaped like a jelly roll: Place both loaves on the baking sheet, with spacing on each side. Be sure to place the loaves seam side down, and tuck the end under itself. Cover the loaves and let them rise for 1-2 hours, until they become as large as you prefer. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for about 20 minutes, until it just starts to turn golden. Just wow..im happy
