Dad's Bread

• 3 cups lukewarm water

• 1 ½ Tbsp yeast

• 1 Tbsp salt

• 6 ½ cups flour (5 ½ cup white, 1 cup whole wheat is what Dad uses.)

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until it gets bubbly.
Add salt and flour.

Knead until smooth and elastic. This will take a while by hand, or you can use the dough hook on the mixer.

Form into 1 round loaf and place on a baking sheet lightly covered with cornmeal. Or you can divide, make two loaves, and put into 2 greased bread pans.

Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size.

Bake at 450 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. It will be a little past golden brown in color.
