easy homemade bread recipe

for all you who missed the pantry secrets class last tuesday... we missed you! but because it was such a success and the food was divine i thought i'd post the recipe here.

10 1/2 c BREAD flour or wheat flour
(you can mix and match to your desire-do not use all purpose flour!!!!)
1/2 c sugar (white or brown), or 1/3 c honey or molasses
1 T salt
3 rounded T saf-instant yeast
3 T liquid lecithin**
4 c hot tap water

mix dry ingredients. add lecithin and water. mix for 1 minute and check consistency. if dough is too dry, add more water. dough should be very sticky. mix for 5 minutes in mixer or 10 minutes by hand. (do not add flour to the dough after it has finished mixing.) spray counter and pans with pam. shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. let raise 25 minutes. bake at 350* for 25 minutes. this recipe makes four loaves of bread.
**squeeze or pour approximately 3 T of lecithin directly into the bowl. DO NOT MEASURE. for whole wheat bread, use the same recipe but add one cup of applesauce as part of the hot tap water and 1 additional tablespoon lecithin. mix for ten minutes.
***if using a kitchen aid mixer. cut recipe in half so you don't burn up your motor!!!
