 Backwoods Bread

This is a very simple recipe and easy to make, you don't even have to kneed the dough.
Ingredients:

6 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of either garlic salt or onion salt. (optional)
3 cups of room temperature water

In one bowl mix the yeast in the water. In another bowl mix the salt and garlic or onion salt into the flour. Pour water into flour and stir with a wooden spoon. This will make a sloppy, stringy wet dough. Cover with a cloth and let sit for 12-24 hours.

After 12-24 hours dust the top with flour and roll into a greased cooking bowl or crock, it does not do well in a pan. Once in baking dish, let sit for 1 hour before baking.

Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes in high altitudes, 45 minutes at lower altitudes. Let cool on cooling rack for 1/2 hour. Butter and enjoy.

Extra:

Very good if you butter the bread, place on cookie sheet and bake at 410 degrees for 10 minutes or until crisp. I add a fried egg on top for a quick and tasty breakfast.

Drain on paper towels and serve.
