French Bread

-Aunt Liz (So easy with a little practice)

3 Cups warm water
1 1/2 Tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
3 Teaspoons Salt

Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, add the sugar and salt, let it rest for 10 minutes

Kneed in 6-7 cups flour (usually 7) kneed well, raise for 30 minutes or until double.
Divide into two equal pieces and shape into round loaves, place on large cookie sheet.
Raise again for 20 minutes
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
(I also use this dough for pizza, bread sticks, and long french loaves)
