Baking A Gift

 Fresh Baked Bread

I'm not a baker by any means, but I have managed

 to do pretty well with a recipe I found in

 "Mother Earth News" 

 It took a few tries, but I finally did well enough

 to share with my neighbors and friends.

Five Minutes a Day for Fresh-Baked Bread  

(The article is lengthy, but worth the effort)

The Master Recipe:  Boule (Artisan Free-Form Loaf)

3 cups lukewarm water

1 1/2 tbsp granulated yeast (1 1/2 packets)

1 1/2 tbsp coarse kosher or sea salt

6 1/2 cups unsifted, unbleached, all-purpose white flour

(Cornmeal for the pizza peel)                         Makes 4 one pound loaves

Their website gives detailed instructions 

along with  several variations to this basic recipe.  

Hope you'll try it out!
