and give us this day our daily bread How to make bread for the whole family:

(This recipe makes 3 loaves)

You need:
8cups of bread flour/or regular flour 4 cups of whole wheat flour 3 tsp salt 6 tsp dry yeast (in bulk at Costco) 5-6 cups of warm water

1. Combine flour and salt in large bowl and mix 2. In separate bowl mix yeast with 1cup of warm water until dissolved 3. Add yeast to flour and slowly add water as you mix it all together either with a mixer with a bread hook attachment or by hand with a large spoon. When the dough is well mixed, dump onto floured surface and kneed until it has a nice smooth consistency 4. Cover with cloth and let rise in a warm spot without drafts (about 30 min or until
doubled in size)

5. Dump dough again onto floured surface and punch down a few times and very briefly knead. 6. Divide into 3 even pieces and either put them directly into a greased pan or braid each piece by dividing it into 3 even pieces (the braiding will make it mainly look prettier on
top) and then place in pans.

7. Cover and let rise again to almost double (approx. 30 min, but also depends on how
warm your kitchen is.)

8 Place pans into cold (!)oven and then turn temp to 395F and bake for 40 min then remove from pans and leave in for an additional 5 min to get a nice crust. 9.Take out and place on rack to cool. Guten Appetit! (The bread also freezes quite well.)
