Crusty Bread

So easy, and SOOO Yummy! I had forgotten about this recipe until last week and dug it back out. Good on those cold nights!

2 cups flour
3/4 c water
1 tsp yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt (I use just a pinch!)
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Vital Wheat Gluten


Mix together in mixing bowl and kneed for 10 min (15 by hand). Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size. Dump out and cut into two pieces. Form each piece into a loaf and then let rise again for another hour.
Preheat oven to 450.
Bake on a heated baking stone or baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Try to let them cool for 30 minutes before slicing and eating...usually though in our house they get devoured pretty quickly!
Enjoy!
