Prep: 20 mins | Total: 60 mins | Yield: 2 loaves
Ingredients
- 2 cups - Warm Water, 110 °F/45 °C
- ½ cup - White Sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons - Active Dry Yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons - Salt
- ¼ cup - Vegetable Oil
- 5-6 cups - Flour, all-purpose or bread flourd
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve one tablespoon of the sugar in warm water and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, about five minutes.
- Mix remaining sugar, salt, and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Dough should be tacky and clean the sides of the bowl save for a small part at the bottom. Too much flour added in yields a dry loaf of bread, so if you're worried you added too much, add a bit more hot water, until you get the correct consistency.
- Knead dough for seven minutes. Place in a well-oiled bowl and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about one hour.
- Punch dough down. Knead for one minute and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen one inch above pans.
- Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 30-40 minutes. Cool, brush with butter and enjoy!
