I don't have the link but here's the copy / paste I did into my 'BYC Recipes' doc:

"Gump Bread

2 cups warm (almost hot) water
4 tsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
-Combine together and let rise for 5 minutes

1/4 cup oil
5 cups bread flour (I also used all purpose flour, but read that if you added 1 T. Wheat Gluten for 1 c. flour than it is the same as bread flour. So I added 5 T. Wheat Gluten with the flour and it turned out so light and fluffy.)
2 tsp. salt
-Add to yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic. (I use my KitchenAid mixer w/ the dough hook to do this. If you have a mixer with a dough hook, it makes this process MUCH easier!)

Cover and let rise for 20-25 minutes. Beat dough down and make into loaves (this recipe makes 2 loaves). Here's the trick to get your bread to come out right. You need to roll out the bread into a rectangle, then roll up into a loaf, like you would when making cinnamon rolls. Lightly slice top of bread to get diagonal cut look when baked. (refer to pic) Let loaves rise (I put my loaves on separate cookie sheets) for 20-25 minutes. Bake on 350* for 20-25 minutes, until top of loaves are golden brown. Let bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

It's really good when you add fresh herbs and garlic to it also. When I make an italian dish, I like to sprinkle in some italian seasoning and garlic. I add the seasoning when the bread is rolled out flat, then roll it up together. That way the seasoning is evening distributed throughout the bread.
I wouldn't use bread pans, because the loaves would be to big (unless you divided it into three instead of two loaves) and the trick to this bread is rolling it out into a rectangle, then rolling it back up like a sleeping bag! LOL! I messed around with this bread for awhile before I could finally get it right. If you use the bread pan, then the bread will rise and have a more "airy" type texture. It won't be as good. The trick to this bread is rolling it out."

Enjoy!

Thanks guys! I didn't realize it was in a separate thread - I was thinking I was going to have to search every page of this thread.
