The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Believe it or not, baking bread from scratch doesn't need to be a lot of work. This is a no-knead yeast-raised bread. And, as a bonus, it's fat-free.

2 envelopes fast rising yeast
2 2/3 cups warm water
4 egg whites
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour, more as needed
Dissolve 2 envelopes of fast rising yeast in the warm water. Mix egg whites, salt and granulated sugar
Add this to 6-7 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix with a wooden spoon. Divide into two loaf pans sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Let rise 40-60 minutes in the oven at its lowest setting until dough is almost to the top of the pans. Set oven up to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes.
This is extremely easy. Since there are no added preservatives, if there is any left after the first day, you should wrap and keep in the refrigerator.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I made this and not only was it the easiest to make but it was absolutely delicious! I served one loaf at a party and had the other for my very picky husband and everyone just loved it. Thank you for posting this recipe. My only wish would be to have had the nutritional values readily available.
