  • 4 cups flour

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water.
  2. Add sugar, salt, oil and remaining water; stir until dissolved.
  3. Add flour and stir until smooth. You may need a little extra flour to make a soft but non-sticky dough. Place in a greased bowl.

  5. Divide dough in half. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Roll each half into a 15 inch chain. (like you would roll playdough for making a snake.).
  7. Place both rolls on one greased cookie sheet.
  8. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes - 1 hour.
  9. With very sharp knife, make 3 diagonal cuts across the top of each loaf.
  10. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
