½C. warm water                    2 ½t. salt

1 ½C. hot water                    4-4 ½ C. flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand for 10-15 minutes. Set aside. In large bowl, combine hot water, oil, sugar, salt, and enough flour to make a sticky dough. Mix well. Add yeast and let stand for 15 minutes. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead until firm and elastic (or place in a large mixer with a bread hook on low for about 2 min.). Shape into two loaves, put in greased loaf pans, and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 375° F for 30 minutes. Great for pasta meals. Good for sandwiches, too.
