"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Place yeast, sugar, and warm water in large bowl or food processor and allow mixture to become bubbly.

Personal Notes:
This makes 2 loaves. Since there is only the two of us, I always put one loaf in the freezer then it's ready anytime when we want more of the bread. I just take it out an hour or so before dinner. About 5 minutes before dinner is ready, I pop it in a 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes or so to warm it a bit and WahLah! Bread!
