5-6 c. bread or AP flour 2 pkgs dry yeast 1 T. salt 2 T. sugar 2 c. hot water
Combine 4 c. flour with yeast, salt, and sugar. Add water and mix well. Work in remaining flour and knead about 8 minutes. Rise 15 minutes (yes, it really double in volume in 15 minutes). Divide into two rounds or loaf pans (this was my mistake, not dividing) and slash tops.
Place loaves into cold oven with a large pan of water on the shelf below. Heat oven to 400 and bake about 50 minutes.
