Very Basic Easy White Bread image

This is a double loaf recipe I first saw used in a Community Kitchen, culinary arts training program for disadvantaged people in Portland, Maine. No sugar? That's what I said... I usually proof my yeast with a teaspoon or so of sugar, but I assure you the recipe works without it... And it's very simple.
