Bread

Favourite recipe that can be used for almost anything - Pizzas, Foccacia, Pita pockets, Flat bread or even just BREAD!!!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup yeast
1kg flour
extra flour for dusting
approx 800ml above luke warm water
Good pinch of salt

Combine all dry ingredients, gradually add water. 
Knead continually until very tacky and moist consistency is achieved and all flour is combined.
Dust with extra flour and leave in warm place until doubled or tripled in size (approx 25mins)
Tip onto clean floured surface
Liberally dust again with flour and knead until soft and elastic.
Divide into desireed shapes and sizes (add any flavourings eg: rosemary, olives, cheese, olive oil, bacon, currants, cinnamon etc)
Place on baking trays
Return to warm place until doubled in size again or until reached desired doneness.
Place in preheated oven and cook (approx 25-30min) until crispy on top and when flicked on bottom, hollow.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the smell is divine!!
