10 1/2 cups white Bread Flour (do not use all-purpose flour)

1/2 cup sugar

1 TBL Salt

3 rounded tablespoons saf-instant yeast

3 tablespoons liquid lecithin*

4 cups hot tap water

Mix ingredients. Add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. Dough should be very sticky. Mix for 5 minutes. (Do not add flour to the dough after it has finished mixing.) Spray counter and pans with Pam. Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. Let rise 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. This recipe makes four loaves of bread.

* Squeeze or pour approximately 3 TBL of lecithin directly into the bowl. Do not measure. Make a circle the size of a quarter and fill it in.

** For whole wheat bread, use the same recipe but add one cup of applesauce as part of the hot tap water and 1 additional tablespoon lecithin. Mix for ten minutes.
