Grandma LeBaron’s Bread

Yield: 4 Loaves

Ingredients:
4 cups lukewarm water
2 TBSP yeast
4 tsp salt
4TBSP sugar
4 cups bread flour

Mix these ingredients together and let sit until they become bubbly. 
In the mean time…

1 cup water: boiled - take off stove and add:
1 ¼ c Brown Sugar
2/3 c Olive oil
7 cups wheat flour

Method:

1. When the first mixture is bubbly, add 1 cup of wheat flour, then some of the second mixture and beat. Repeat until the liquid is gone, and the 7 cups are used up.
2. Once the wheat flour is used up, return to the bread flour and add enough until the dough can be kneading (pulls away from the side of the bowl).
3. Take out of bowl, and knead on the countertop.  Place in greased bread pans and let rise, until double its size. 
4. Bake in the oven at 350° F for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes take a brown paper bag and sprinkle water on top.  Put the bag on top of the loaves of bread, and cook another 15-20 minutes.  The bag helps prevent the bread from burning.
