4 cups white wheat flour
1 3/4 cups warm water or milk
1 Tbs. salt
2 tsp. yeast
1 tsp. honey
Mix flour and salt. Proof the yeast with the sugar in 3/4 cup warm water--when it's foamy, mix with the flour. Stir in the rest of the water/milk. Knead so that it's nice and malleable. Coat inside of bowl in oil and coat dough in oil and let rise for 1 hour--in a nice, warm spot--with plastic wrap over the top of the bowl. Knead a little bit, then form into a loaf and let rise for another 1/2 hour with oil + plastic wrap. Put a container of water into bottom of oven, put the dough in and then start preheating to 350 F. Bake until it is done, about 50-60 minutes. The smell helps, it should also be golden-brown on the top. Not beige, not light brown.
