Flat French Bread (from Cami Wardle)

This is the fastest, easiest, and yummiest bread recipe. We love making it on Sundays and using leftovers for French toast later in the week. 

FLAT FRENCH BREAD

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons yeast

2 cups warm water

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons salt

4 cups flour

1/3 cup melted butter

In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit for a few minutes. Add sugar, salt and flour. Mix, with the dough hook, for 8 minutes on medium speed. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary, midway. Let dough rest until double in bulk (about 45 to 60 minutes.) 

Grease a 9" x 13" glass pan with shortening. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Throw dough out onto floured surface and form into a log. Place in glass pan and press flat to edges. Pour melted butter over dough, covering entire surface. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then turn bread out onto cutting surface. Slice!
