bread/pizza

I love this recipe it never fails and tastes great! Soy lecithin is the "secret" ingredient...it stores indefinitely and would be great for your food storage item. When I make it I half it (my mixer only can hold 6 Cups of flour...bummer) but for dinner I'll make pizza with half the dough and the other half I'll make cinnamon rolls. The recipe is as follows:

10 1/2 c bread flour (I use wheat sometimes)
1/2 c sugar
1 T salt
3 T SAF instant yeast (it is important to use saf so you don't have to let it cure, you just throw it in with the other ingredients)
3 T liquid lecithin (do not measure it's too sticky eyeball 4 quarter size globs)
4 c water

Mix dry ingredients and yeast add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 min. and check consistency. If dough is too dry add more water. Dough should be very sticky. Mix for 5 min. on high. Do NOT add anymore flour after! Spray counter and pan with Pam. Shape loves and cover with a dish towel. Let raise for 25 min.
bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. for bread loaves but 12-15 min for rolls or cinnamon rolls.
pizza bake @ 400 degrees for 12 min. do not let raise.
