Courtney's Easiest Bread Recipe

5 1/4 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 TBS salt

1 1/2 TBS yeast

1 1/2 TBS canola oil or lecithin

2 cups hot tap water

Mix dry ingredients. Add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. If dough is too moist, add more flour. Mix for 5 minutes. (Do not add water or flour to the dough after it has finished mixing. ) Spray counter and pans with Pam. Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. Let raise 25 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. This recipe makes two loaves of bread.

I use this for pizza dough, bread, french bread, cinnamon rolls. It is good for anything.
