How to bake bread

Simple Way To Bake Bread At Home

What you need: 

-3 cups of warm water

-3 Tablespoons of yeast

-3 teaspoons of salt

-4 Tablespoons of vegetable oil

-1/2 a cup of white sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you want it)

-8 cups of flour (plus some extra for kneading)

-A table-top and an oven ;) (some people really don't have ovens, like my friends in the dorm).

What to do:

-Put the water in a mixing bowl

-Dissolve the yeast in the water, add the sugar, salt and vegetable oil

-:Mix 4 cups of the flour in the mixture, cover with a cloth, and leave to rise in a warm place (I just put it in the oven or cupboard)

-Leave for about two hours and mix in the rest of the flour

-Knead and shape the dough how you like it (here's a link of dough I braided)

-Preheat oven to about 300 degrees

-I brushed milk on the dough before putting in the oven to give it the shiny appearance.
