Bread Making
Ingredients
Directions
Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of lukewarm water.
Add enough flour to form a thick batter that clings to a spoon.
Cover the bowl with a thick cloth and let it sit near a warm place for about 30 minutes until foamy.
Mix in another cup of lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in it.
Add enough flour to form a dough stiff enough to knead.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes.
Shape the dough into one or two loaves as desired.
