	Step 1: In a large glass or ceramic bowl, put in 1 TBSP active dry yeast, 1 TBSP white sugar, and 1/2 cup water. The water should be 110 degrees, or just a bit warm on your wrist (same temperature as for a baby bottle)
	Step 2: Let the yeast "proof"; in about 10 minutes, the mixture will be bubbly and about the same volume or just a bit larger, than the water you put in
	Step 3: Mix in 1 TSP salt, 1.5 Cups liquid If you're adding herbs, spices, extra sugar, raisins, etc., add them now
	Step 4: Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time If you're adding flours other than white flour, mix in the first two cups of white flour, then your "fancy" flours, then finish up with more white flour
	Step 5: When the bread is too stiff to mix with a spoon, start kneading the flour in. Add 1/2 cup white flour at a time, to make a firm smooth dough, and shape it into a ball. To keep your hands from getting too sticky, put a dab of oil on them
	Step 6: In a clean bowl, put 1-2 TBSP oil. Place the ball of dough in the bowl and roll it around in the oil to coat the top.
	Step 7: Let dough rise for 2 or more hours, until it is doubled in size. The amount of time depends on how warm the room is. Put bread up high for best results, as heat rises. The top of your refrigerator is a great place to let the bread rise.
	Step 8: After the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Shape the dough into a loaf, and put it into a greased bread pan or greased cookie sheet. Bake for 30-45 minutes (time depends on size of loaf).
	Step 9: When the bread is lightly browned, and the bottom sounds hollow when you knock on it, it's finished. Let it cool thoroughly and enjoy with butter, jelly, or plain!
