The best bread recipe ever

Here is the simplest and best bread recipe that I have ever come across:

3 cups luke warm water
1.5 tablespoons active yeast
1.5 tablespoons kosher salt
6.5 cups of unsifted flour

Preheat oven to 375.  Mix it all together, let it rise for about 2 hours, take all of it (or half of it) and throw it into a greased loaf pan.   Bake for about 35-45 minutes.

If you want to make it more fancy, cut some fresh rosemary from your garden and sprinkle some garlic powder in it.  Now you have some rosemary garlic bread.  Or you can make sugar and cinnamon bread.  GET CREATIVE!!!

All of the dough makes a regular loaf of bread (like you get in the supermarket).  For a smaller loaf, use half of the dough.

Here is the book that I got it from in case you can't get enough:

You may never buy another loaf of bread again.
Have fun baking!
