1. In a bowl dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Cover and put in a warm place until quite foamy, about 5 minutes.
|
2. Put flour in another bowl. Make a well in flour and pour yeast mixture into well, adding flour from sides of bowl. Let rest for 3 minutes.
|
3. Dissolve salt in 5 cups lukewarm water and add slowly into flour while kneading. Continue kneading until dough is smooth but firm, about 10 minutes (add. more water if dough becomes unworkable).
|
4. Divide dough into seven balls and shape into loaves. Mark loaves into 1-inch diagonal slices, cutting halfway down. Cover with plastic wrap and a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1˝ to 2 hours.
|
5. Preheat oven to 375°F.
|
6. Place loaves on oiled cookie sheets and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and cool; slice all the way through.
|
7. Place slices on cookie sheets and return to oven. Lower oven temperature to 250°F and bake for 3 hours, or until biscuits are hard.

NOTE:

1. Biscuits can be used as croutons in salads: Lightly sprinkle biscuits with cold water and cut into bite-size pieces.
