Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt

  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms.

  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Experiment with different flours for unique flavors.
  • Store bread in a cool, dry place or freeze for longer shelf life.
