French Bread (from Hayley)

My sister uses this recipe a lot and I made it for the first time yesterday by hand since I don't have a mixer or bread pans this month. It turned out great.

In a small bowl combined:

1/2 c. warm water

1 tbsp. sugar

2 tbsp. yeast

In a large bowl combined:

2 c. very hot water

2 tbsp. sugar

1 tbsp. salt

1/3 c. oil

Then add:

3 c. flour

and small bowl ingredients

Mix together and then add:

3 more cups flour or until correct consistency.

Need dough about every 10 minutes for an hour.

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
