Heck, why knead bread in the first place? Then again, I'm an old fashioned guy...

6 cups flour
1 tbl yeast
salt to taste
3 cups water

mix it up and let it rise for 2 hours in a bowl. It should be soggy enough to conform to the bowl. After two hours (and up to two week), whenever you want to use some, pull out a wad, shape it into a roll-type loaf, throw it on a floured baking sheet and let it rise for 40 minutes. After 20, start preheating your oven to 425. bake for 30 minutes. Let it rest afterward for 20 minutes or so, and then go to town on that bad boy.
