I like to make bread (24 Pics)

Basic dough after it's been mixed

7 cups flour
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp salt
4.5 tsp yeast
2.5 cups hot (~110ºF water)

mix that shit up, drizzle a little olive oil on it, cover it (I like saran wrap), and let it sit for a hour, punch t down and shape the loaf. let sit for another hour

edit: almost forgot, when it's time to bake, egg wash first, then bake at 450ºF for ~25min.  Brush olive oil on your baking tray and sprinkle a decent amount of corn meal and it'll pop right out when it's done.  let it cool down before you slice it. :D
