Ingredients
- 2 qt warm water
- 7 pound bread flour
- 8 oz dry yeast (active)
- 2 oz olive oil
- 2 oz sugar
- 2 oz salt
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together holding back on some of the flour until you see that it is needed.
Knead dough 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth. Cover and let rise until double in size.
Punch down and form into desired shapes-baquettes,round loaves etc. Bake at 375* 20-30 minutes depending on loaf size.
By adding fresh chopped herbs and some roasted garlic to this dough you can come up with some very flavorful breads.
