I found this bread recipe about 2 weeks ago and made last weeks bread with it, while the bread is more crumy than my other bread recipe, it's so much easier to make that it's worth it. I modified it removing stuff we cannot/do not want to eat to make it my own.

You'll Need:

4 cups warm water
1/3 cup sugar or 1/3 cup honey
3 packets of yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup oil plus extra oil to coat bowl
10-12 cups of flour of your choice but I'd stay clear of those with baking powder added (I made this with half and half bread flour and whole grain but used AP to kneed when I ran out.) Since flour settles and 1 cup can me more than a cup because of it, I sift my flour twice before I measure the cups since I don't weigh it.

* Mix water & honey in bowl. Add yeast. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Add salt, oil and flour. Works best if you add slowly so you don't put too much flour in. Mix until it becomes a sticky ball, kneed adding flour as you go until it becomes one big hardly sticky ball. Need for ten minutes after that. Coat dough in oil, place in big bowl covered with damp teatowel in a warm place(I sit it on top of my oven, which is set to preheat) and allow to rise until it at least doubles in volume. Punch down, form into four loaves, put into pans(I put two in each 11x13 cake pan) and allow to rise again for 30 minutes. score top with knife before putting in oven at 350 for 40 minutes.

I found this best with butter and raspberry jam.
