This bread won a blue ribbon when I entered it in a competition at a local fair. No matter how many times I prepare it, friends and family always proclaim it a winner!

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Shape into a round loaf and place in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°. Using a sharp knife, make three slashes across the top. Bake 40-45 minutes. Remove from dish to cool on a wire rack.

This bread recipe turned out great. I would add 1/4 cup more flour to the recipe as it was too sticky without it. I will make this bread again.
