I use 10 cups flour, 1 tablespoon salt mixed in large bowl. In a small bowl empty 3 packages of dry yeast and stir with 1/2 cup barely lukewarm water (finger tested)
. Mix well, then with large spoon quickly stir into bowl of flour. Next stir 3 cups hot tap water into bowl of flour. Stir quickly. Get cup of flour to sprinkle
on table to help knead dough. You may not need all the flour so just sprinkle a little at a time when it gets sticky. Knead for 10 minutes.
Oil a large bowl glass or metal to place dough to rise. Flip dough over in bowl and cover with foil. Place in oven that is off. Check in 30 min. If dough is raised pushing against foil punch down and flip over. Cover and place back in oven to raise again. Check in 20 minutes. Oil a large cookie sheet. When dough has raised remove from oven and cut into 3 equal sizes. Quickly shape into long loaves so 3 can sit side by side on cookie sheet. Place back in oven to raise. When ready place on counter to wait to preheat oven 375⁰ and bake 30 to 40 minutes. Should be golden.

- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups lukewarm water
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
2. Pour in the lukewarm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky and loose.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 12-18 hours, allowing the dough to rise and develop flavor.
4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid inside to preheat as well.
5. Carefully remove the hot pot from the oven and remove the lid. Transfer the dough into the hot pot, being cautious as the pot will be very hot.
6. Cover the pot with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crusty.
8. Remove the bread from the pot and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air, then shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
7. Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Look up beer bread on Pinterest. It’s not amazing but pretty good cheap and easy. I will add that it needs butter drizzled on top after you cook it.

I use my bread machine to make dough all the time. It does the work on the dough setting and then I can make buns, cinnamon buns, pizzas and bread with the dough. I highly suggest getting a bread machine if you are worried at all.
Water temperature between 95 to 100 degrees that way it's warm enough to activate your yeast, but not too hot to hurt it.
Bloom your yeast by adding the water, sweetener and yeast to the bowl together and let it sit for 5 minutes. If the mixture is bubbly your yeast is healthy enough to rise your bread, of its not bubbly, the yeast is old and not able to give you a full rise.
Rise your dough in your oven. Turn it on 350 for like 1 to 2 minutes to get it warm and then set your bowl with your dough in there covered with a towel. You can do you second rise in the oven as well.

This recipe comes out perfect for me every time !
All you need is pre-creamed shortening, self rising flour, and some salt. Bonus points for buttermilk, but you could use milk or water instead. Get 2-3 forkfuls of shortening, add about 1 tablespoon salt, mix together. Add about 2 cups of flour. Use the fork to "mash" the flour. I just keep pushing the fork down and smearing it through, move over a little, and mash through again over and over til the shortening is mixed throughout and the flour feels kinda damp if that makes sense. Then add water, start with about a cup. Stir well . You want it to come together and it's just right when it kinda sticks to itself instead of the bottom of your bowl. If the dough is runny, add some flour, if it's not pulling away from the bowl, add more flour. When it's right, sprinkle some flour on your palms and rub them together, then grab about half a palmful and drop it onto a baking tray. You should get about 6-8 biscuits. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins. If you like them a little toasty brown on top, put them under the broiler for about a minute after baking.
