    | 1. Dissolve the yeast in the water, add salt and sugar. | 2. Add flour until it forms a soft dough(not sticky!) | 3. Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. ( I use the dough hook on my kitchenaid mixer for about 4 minutes, then knead by hand for 4 minutes.) | 4. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough inside, turning once to coat. | 5. Cover and let rise one hour, until doubled. | 6. Punch dough down, and cut in half. | 7. Form into 2 12'' loaves. (In the pics, I did one long loaf, and two small rounds) | 8. Cover with damp dishcloth. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place, I set mine on the stove on top of my pre-heating oven. | 9. Cut dough with diagonal marks, about 4 down the length of the loaf. | 10. Bake at 450 degrees F. for about 15 mins -- If you want really crusty loaves, I pour about 1/4 cup of water into the oven just before I close the door--my improvised steaming method :-). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
