How To Make Easy Yeast Bread | Frugal Family Food

Add 2 cups of very hot water to a mixing bowl.

Measure and add 2 tablespoons of yeast to the water.

Measure and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture.

Start adding flour, beginning with 2 cups, and mix on low until combined.

Gradually add more flour, up to 5 to 6 cups total, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Switch to the dough hook and continue mixing, adding flour until the dough is not sticky but pliable.

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, covered with a moistened dish towel.

After resting, shape the dough into two flat loaves.

Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza stone or cookie sheet to prevent sticking.

Place the shaped loaves on the prepared surface and make deep slashes on top for expansion.
