Banoli Bread

This is originally a Scandinavian recipe. It is from my aunt Banoli. You have to know her to best appreciate this recipe. She is the spice.

In Bowl:
2 T yeast
1 T sugar
2 T vegetable oil
3 cups warm water (stirring in 1 at a time)

Mix in:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour. Cover with towel and let sit for 6 minutes or until foamy.
Continue stirring in flour 1/2 cupfuls at a time until thick yet still sticky (4 cups?). Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Dust with flour. Pour dough onto foil. Put flour around edges forming dough into a circle. Pat with wet fingers until smooth. Cover with towel and let rise for 35 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Uncover dough and pat with milk. Place in oven for 30 minutes or until light brown.

Optional:
While adding 4 cups of flour, you can add what spices you like. (ie. basil, rosemary, garlic powder, sundried tomatoes, etc.)
