For those who asked, here is the bread recipie. I just vary the flour with white or wheat or often a combination of the two... it is really as easy as is sounds.
BREAD
2 cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 T yeast
1 1/2 t salt
1/4 c vegetable oil
6 cups flour
1. Put warm water, yeast and sugar into a bowl; stir to a white foam ( kinda...)
2. Add salt, oil and stir
3. Add flour one up at a time
Kneed for 2 – 4 minutes
Place in well oiled bowl, coat surface in oil, cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1 hour. (I take it out of the mixing bowl wash the bowl, dry then generously oil the bowl and then put the dough back in to rise).
Punch down and kneed for 2-4 minutes, then divide into two equal loafs. Shape each loaf and place in well oiled loaf pan and let rise to one inch above pan edge. (again, cover with the damp cloth).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place bread in oven, lower temp to 325 degrees, and bake about 1 hour.
I check and if the bread is too soft (and therefore maybe doughy inside) I turn off the oven and leave it in there for a while.
Note: when you do the second kneeding, you can fold "stuff" into the bread... anything from herbs to fruits and sugar. It's a fun and easy recipie....... enjoy!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
