  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      quarts        warm water
   2      ounces        sugar
   2      ounces        salt
   2      ounces        olive oil -- or vegetable oil
   8      ounces        active dry yeast
   7      pounds        bread flour -- to 8 lbs

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together holding back on some of the flour until you see that it is needed. Knead dough 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth. Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down and form into desired shapes-baquettes,round loaves etc. Bake at 375* 20-30 minutes depending on loaf size. By adding fresh chopped herbs and some roasted garlic to this dough you can come up with some very flavory breads.
