This is the easiest, fastest bread recipe (can be made in under and hour)

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. yeast
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 Tbsp. salt
• 5 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

1. Combine yeast, sugar, water, and salt and let sit for 2 minutes. Add flour and mix – it's kind of sticky. Let rise for 30 minutes. Divide dough in half to make two loaves. Roll each half into a 9x12 rectangle on floured surface and then roll into a long loaf shape. Place on greased cookie sheet seam-side down. Score bread 3 or 4 times. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake at 450º for 15 minutes.
