The most delicious bread I have ever made, and surprisingly easy. You can top with onions, rosemary, or other herbs spices and cheeses for a variation. I like to double the jalapeno's and use jarred old el paso peppers because they are my favorite. If you cut it in half and put sandwich meat and veggies in the middle its a supper to die for.

3 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast |
1 cup water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 egg |

6. Stir in 1 and 3/4 cups of flour a little at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
7. Place dough on a floured surface and knead in remaining flour.
8. Place in bowl and cover for 8 minutes.
9. Remove dough and place on greased cookie sheet.
10. Cover with greased plastic wrap and two tea towels.
