Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients together.
  2. Add oil and water, mixing with a fork until sticky and stiff.
  3. Start mixing with your hands to form a nice dough ball. If it is too sticky add flour if too dry add water. Add just a teaspoon at a time.
  4. When your dough balls nicely then turn it out onto floured counter. Knead the dough. To knead do you press it, fold it, stretch it, turn it, repeat. Continue kneading for a full 5 minutes. This is very important. Do not short this step.
  5. Let dough rest a few minutes. Clean your bowl and spray it with a little oil. Put dough in bowl and turn to coat with oil.
  6. Place dough in a warm spot to rise and cover with a tea towel. Dough should double in size. This may take upto 2 hours.
  7. When dough has risen punch it down with your fist to force the air out. Knead dough again just long enough to get all the air out.
  8. Let dough rest while you oil a loaf pan. Put doughball in pan and cover with teatowel. Let rise again until double in bulk.
  9. Set the oven to 350 (you do not need to preheat it) Cook for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Carefully turn the hot bread out of the pan and onto a dishtowel on the counter. Thump the bottom with your finger. If it sounds hollow then it is done. If it doesn't sound hollow, then put it back into the pan and bake it some more. Allow the bread to cool down for a few minutes before slicing it.
  11. Note if you do not get good results with this recipe check your yeast for freshness and try again but increase your kneading time a bit.
