Bread Making

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of lukewarm water.

  2. Add enough flour to form a thick batter that clings to a spoon.

  3. Cover the bowl with a thick cloth and let it sit near a warm place for about 30 minutes until foamy.

  4. Mix in another cup of lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in it.

  5. Add enough flour to form a dough stiff enough to knead.

  6. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes.

  7. Shape the dough into one or two loaves as desired.
