Bread for Josh


This is what you get.

Recipe:
3C flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 C water

Place first three ingredients in a bowl. Add water and mix until dough is shaggy. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 4 hrs in 70° F location. After first rise, punch down and let rest for 20 mins. Preheat oven to 450° F. Oil large bowl (must have a corresponding lid) and allow to heat in oven for 15 mins. Place dough in bowl, cover with lid, and bake for 30 mins. Remove lid and bake an additional 15-20 mins until top is browned. You may add sweet or savory items to the dough as you like.

So, I would love a bread-making lesson. Bread & I -- we haven't come to terms yet. I read the recipes, but evidently I just don't have the soul. (This is actually a lot like me & jazz music, but that's a different subject altogether.)

Think you might be up for it sometime? I'll bring the butter & jam! :)
