Ingredients
- 2 cups water 110 degrees f
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 5½ cups flour
Instructions
- Dissolve sugar in warm water in a large bowl, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the oil and the salt together and stir well to combine. Pour this into the yeast mixture.
- Using a stand mixer and dough hook, Mix in flour one cup at a time. Let this knead on the low setting 2-3 minutes, no more. You may have to keep pushing the dough down off the hook as it tends to climb.
- Place the dough in a well-oiled large bowl that is two times the size of the dough, and turn the dough to coat lightly in oil. Cover with a clean damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Oil two 9x5 loaf pans and set aside.
- Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide the dough in half. Shape into loaves, and place into the oiled loaf pans.
- Place the dough back into the warm area covered by a damp towel and allow it to rise until dough has risen above the edge of the pan by one inch, about 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350° while your dough is rising.
- Place the risen loaves in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- This is a great bread for toast and jams, sandwiches etc.
