5 min bread

I am home sick from work so what better activity than making bread? A few minutes mixing, a few hours napping with a yummy ending. This recipie is from the book "Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day"

3 cups warm water
2 scant Tbs yeast
1 1/4 Tbs kosher salt
6 1/2 cups flour

1. Dissolove yeast and salt in water in a large container (skip dishes by mixing in whatever you want to keep it in in the fridge)
2. Add flour and mix until combined - Don't knead!
3. Loosely cover and let rise 2-5 hours until fallen or flat. Now would be nap time!
4. Refridgerate until you want it at least 3 hours and up to a week

when you're ready to bake:
1.take a grapefruit sized lump ( approx 1/4 of the dough ) and form a ball
2. Let rise 45 minutes
3. Preheat a pizza stone to 450
4. Bake untill crusty - yum!
