Good Bread
Ingredients
Directions
Pour boiling water gradually over flour, stirring to keep smooth.
When cool, add yeast dissolved in water and let stand until very light.
Add flour to make a stiff sponge and mix in salt.
Once the sponge rises, knead until it doesn't stick to your hands.
Divide into loaves and place in pans to rise for baking.
