In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in the water. Then add all of the ingredients and 2 cups of flour, mix well.

Add some more flour to form a stiff dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 4 minutes until you get an elastic dough.

Grease a large bowl and place the dough in it and turn it to grease all the dough so it doesnt dry out.

Cover the bowl and place on a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

Punch down dough and knead for about 1 minute.

Place on a lightly greased baking sheet in your desired shape and let rise until doubled or an hour.

With a very sharp knife, cut an X in the middle if you made it round.

Bake in an oven at 375°F for 35-40 minutes or until brown (dont over cook).

Let chill for a few minutes or use hot. Perfect for a delicious capresse sandwich.
