Dissolve yeast in water with sugar. Let sit until foamy, approximately 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except oil, and mix well. Turn out on a board and knead for 5-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Turn in oiled bowl until oiled on all sides. Cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm, draft free area until doubled in size. Usually it takes an hour or so. Punch the dough down and shape into desired loaf style. Placed on baking sheet sprayed with Pam and sprinkled with a little corn meal. Cover again and allow to rise to full size.Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes and spray liberally with water (this gives it the crunchy crust), and bake for another 10 minutes.For even better flavor, try adding a dollop of sourdough starter (http://brcfairygodmother.blogspot.com/2011/11/by-bread-alone.html).Serving Size: Makes 2 servings.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KATERUSSELL010.
