Easy Bread

This is such a yummy, fast recipe if you're looking for some homemade bread. Start to finish, can be done in 1.5 hours. And, it only has 5 ingredients! A staple for Sunday dinners around here.

2 1/2 c. warm water

2 T. active dry yeast

2 T. sugar

1 T. salt

5 1/2 c. flour

Stir sugar and yeast into the warm water, and let it sit and get all bubbly. While that's working, put salt and flour in mixing bowl with dough hook. Once the yeast is proofed, dump in the mixing bowl and stir on low speed for a few minutes. The dough will be sticky. Prepare two bread pans with non-stick spray, and divide the dough evenly between the two. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until double in size. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or until it looks nice and golden brown on top. 

I love making homemade goodies for Christmas presents for our friends, and I made this last year with some cinnamon honey butter as well. People raved about it! It's so good and so easy!
