Recipe Ingredients

 3 cups warm water (about 100 degrees fahrenheit)
 1.50 tbsp yeast
 1.50 tbsp coarse salt
 6.50 cups unsifted All purpose flour

Cooking Directions

1

Add warm water, salt and yeast to a large bowl

2

Add all 6.5 cups of flour to the bowl

3

Mix with a wooden spoon until there are no patches or pockets of dry flour. It may take 3-5 minutes to mix in all the flour. You may be tempted to add more water, DO NOT, just keep mixing until all the flour is absorbed
