Recipe Swap-Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!

We had a wonderful recipe swap on February 9th, 2010 after the Provident Living Classes! We got to try lots of yummy cookies! Thanks to everyone that brought them.

Also, Suzanne Page treated us with her homemade french bread! It was so yummy. French bread is a lot cheaper to make from scratch and a lot tastier. Suzanne's french bread recipe is below. Thanks Suzanne!

French Bread
In a large bowl put:
2 Tablespoons yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
3 Tablespoons sugar

Stir to dissolve and let sit for a few minutes.

When yeast is bubbling, add:
1/3 to 1/2 cup oil (I use 1/3)
3 cups flour
1 Tablespoon salt

Mix together well. Add 3 more cups of flour, mixing well.
Cover with a cloth and let rise for one hours, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Stir the dough down and divide into two portions. Roll each piece of dough out thin, then roll it up tightly as you would for cinnamon rolls, then tuck in the ends. Place on a greased sheet pan, repeat with remaining piece of dough.
Make 3 or 4 diagnol slashes with a serrated knife in the top of the dough.
Let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
