Easy bread

3 cups very warm water
1 tablespoon dry active yeast 
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 cups white flour
2 ½ cup – 3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon sea salt

Onion and steak spice bread
FYI -  if you have a stand alone mixer with a dough attachment use it makes it way easier.
  1. Mix together in a large bowl and allow to bubble up and foam: The yeast, sugar and water. Wait a few minutes till yeast starts to work then add vinegar and oil
  2. Add the white flour cup by cup stirring well after each addition. Then add the whole wheat flour mixing in the salt at one point, cup by cup stirring well after each addition. keep adding flour till the dough is not sticking to the side.It is possible on humid days you might need more flour.
  3. Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 – 40 minutes or until it has doubled in size. Knee on a floured surface for a few min.Then back to rising for 30 min.
  4. Then knee a bit more and make 2 balls of dough put into 2 well-greased loaf pans, or use a pizza pan. Let rise for an other 30 min.
  5. With a knife make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.Then put in the pre heated oven.
 @ 375 degrees F , 25 to 35 minutes (for loaf pan, but if you make a big one on a pizza pan it might take a bit longer)  depending on your oven, to know if it's done tap on top and if it sounds hollow it should be done

*you could add stuff to the bread before adding it to the pans, like dry fruits, steak spices,or other spices, onions or olives or even sun dried tomatoes what ever floats your boat.
