Step 1

Pour flour in a large bowl.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour.

Step 3

Add yeast to well and then add enough of the water to the well to dissolve the yeast (you can use your hands).

Step 4

After yeast is dissolved start adding more water and mixing in flour until you form a dough.

Step 5

Knead dough in the bowl for a bit. Let the dough rise in a warm place with a towel loosely covering the top.

Step 6

After it has risen double in size, punch down the dough and divide it up into 7 loaves.

Step 7

Shape the dough loaves and put in loaf pans. If you do not have 7 pans, use a cookie sheet and the loaves will come out just as nice fine.

Step 8

Let the dough rise for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 9

Make slits in the top of the dough to make it look pretty.

Step 10

Bake at 350° until it gets brown on top, about 25 minutes (this will vary a bit based on your oven).
