Recipe for Making Bread at Home

In a big bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups of flour and the salt.
Mix the ingredients together.
Create a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add the yeast mixture and softened butter to the mixture, along with honey or olive oil if desired. Stir with a wooden spoon or use your hands until the dough begins to form.
Work the dough by kneading it.
Put the dough on a surface with flour and knead it for 5-7 minutes until it is soft and stretchy. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour.
