Okay Ladies and Gents....here is the EASIEST Bread Recipe you have ever tried. I have always been a baker but up until this recipe I have always left the homemade bread to my mother. She has always been able to go into the kitchen without any recipe and whip up bread to die for. This is not only super yummy it is really really EASY....

5 Minute Bread Basic Recipe

3 cups warm water
1 1/2 tbsp yeast
1 1/2 tbsp salt (I use Kosher. If you use table salt only do 1 tbsp.)
6 1/2 cups flour

Combine all ingredients together (I use a kitchen aid mixer but it is not necessary) I also always add a pinch of sugar to help aid the yeast. No kneading!

This will be very sticky! Flour your counter...alot. Dump out and quickly form 2 loaves. The less flour you use the better so don't knead it just flour the outside heavily as you form it and then pat the excess off and put in greased loave pans.

Let raise (I put mine in the oven) for 30 minutes or so. Turn oven on to 400 degrees and put in when the oven is still cool. (Again this is not necessary but it saves you time in the raising process. Cook 3o minutes (the bottom should sound hollow when you dump them out to cool). Waaalaa!

I believe this costs about 50 cents/loaf! So totally time is 1 hour from start to finish and you really are only hands on for 5 minutes.

Now for my healthier version

Whole Wheat/Oatmeal/Flax

3 cups warm water
1 1/2 tbsp yeast
1 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1/4 molasses or honey (optional depending on your mood or supplies)
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 hand fulls of flax seeds
3 cups whole wheat
3 cups white flour

same process...really sticky but flour generously the outside as you form the loaves then you should be good.
