Making Bread

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large baking trough, make a deep hole in the center of the flour.

  2. Pour diluted yeast into the hole and stir in enough flour to create a thin batter.

  3. Cover the batter with dry flour and a cloth.

  4. Let the sponge sit until it swells and cracks appear.

  5. When the cracks stop widening, proceed to make the dough.
