Tiffany's Home made Bread

2 1/2 c warm water
2 heaping T yeast

Mix and sprinkle with sugar and let it get foamy.

Add:
1/3 c gluten
3 1/2 c flour

Mix for 1 minute. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.

Add:
2 T lemon juice
1/3 c oil
1/3 c honey
1 T salt
2-3 c of flour (add it bits at a time until it is no longer sticky and forms a ball in the mixer)

Knead in machine or by hand for 15-20 minutes.
Let rise until doubled.
Roll out and shape for bread pans.
Put in oven and set to 350 for ONE MINUTE ONLY.
Turn off oven and leave loaves to rise in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough has risen to the top of the pans.
Leave bread in oven (don't open the door) and turn oven back on to 350 and time for 35 minutes; or until nice, beautiful brown.
wheat= 3 loaves
white =4 loaves

Personal note: I have been looking for years for a good home made bread recipe that I could also cut and use for sandwiches (it seems like so many of them crumble up and don't make good sandwich bread)- this one is delicious and makes great sandwich bread!!!
