found it on this website , made it with out a mixer without too many problemsSimple Breadby Marcia Passos DuffyPrinter-friendly versionIn our busy household I like foods I can make that taste fresh, but are simple to make. You may not think that bread falls under the category of 'simple', then again, you have not made this bread.Even if you are a bread-making novice, you can make these loaves of delicious crusty-on-the-outside bread with little effort (ie., little kneading and dough rising time). Believe it or not, this bread takes only 1 hour and 15 minutes to make, start to finish. And it is a perfect complement to winter soups and stews.Ingredients5-6 cups all-purpose flour (you can substitute whole wheat flour for 1 or 2 cups).2 tablespoons of dry yeast2 tablespoons brown sugar1 tablespoon salt2 cups hot water (120-130 degrees F.)A cake pan of hot waterMix 3 cups of the flour with the yeast, sugar and salt. Pour in the hot water and beat 100 strokes (or 3 minutes with a mixer). Stir in the remaining flour until the dough loses its stickiness. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead for 8 minutes.Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a warm damp cloth. Let rise for 15 minutes in a warm spot (away from drafts).Punch down and divide the dough into two pieces. Shape into round loaves and place on a greased baking sheet. Cut an "X" one-half inch deep in each of the loaves with a wet sharp knife.Place baking sheet with loaves in the middle of a COLD oven. Place a pan of hot water on the lowest shelf. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake 40-50 minutes until golden brown.http://www.theheartofnewengland.com/food-Simple-Bread.html
