Homemade Bread Dough

1. 1

   Using a LARGE mixer, add the water and a few cups of flour. Mix.

2. 2

   Add the salt, oil, honey, and yeast. (If you measure the oil first and then the honey, the honey doesn't stick as much).

3. 3

   Add one cup of flour at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. (at this point I think it's still too doughy, so I add one or two more cups depending on how much I have to shape the dough).

4. 4

   Let it knead for 12 minutes.

5. 5

   If making bread, turn on the oven to 170 degrees and let it heat while the dough kneads.

6. 6

   Shape the dough and place in pans (will make 3-4 loafs of bread, depending on the size of the pans).

7. 7

   Place the loafs in the oven. Turn off the oven. Let rise for 25-30 minutes.

8. 8

   Turn on the oven to 350. Don't remove the bread, let it continue to raise while preheating.

9. 9

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

10. 10

    Remove and cool on cooling racks.

11. 11

    Don't put in the fridge, this makes it go stale faster. Freezes well.
