Directions: Dancing Babe Bread - because you can do this while dancing around the boat. It's so easy, no kneading! Mix flour, salt and flax meal(optional) in a large mixing bowl. Add dry yeast to very warm water and dissolve. Create a dip in the flour and mix in the water with a spoon until you have a fairly sticky mass. Next comes the one time you may have to get one hand dirty - finish blending the ingredients with your hand until you have a fairly smooth dough. One minute tops! That's it. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp towel and find a place where your dough can rise draft-free for two to six hours. Add to a loaf pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in a 450 degree oven, until crust is golden brown. If possible add a shallow dish of water on the very bottom of your oven to improve humidity. I just took a bread out of the oven to which I added 1 1/2 tbsp. of crushed rosemary instead of flax meal. Awesome. You could also substitute 1/2 cup of white flour with whole wheat flour. Let's go dancing!
