Cindy’s Homemade French Bread (Super easy!)

Mix
2 Tb oil

2 Tb sugar

1 Tb salt

2 ½ cups hot water



Sprinkle 2 Tb Yeast over mixture.



Blend in 6 cups flour till smooth.



Cover dough with plastic and let rise for 30 minutes in the bowl. Divide dough in half and kneed each half about 10 times on a floured surface. Dough will be wet and will need more flour to work with. Shape in to a loaf, jelly-roll style. Place both loaves on a cookie sheet and slice top several times with a sharp knife. Let rise for another 30 minutes while the oven is preheating to 400°. Bake for 20 minutes. If desired you can rub butter over the top of the hot bread and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
