Cook Time:

Cooking time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 cups bread flour

Equipment:

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook attachment
  • 9x5 inch loaf pans
  • Plastic wrap or clean kitchen towel

Method:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add the active dry yeast and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast is bubbly and activated.
  3. Add the salt and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Add the bread flour one cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pans with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Remove the bread from the pans and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes:

  • Make sure that the water is at the correct temperature (110°F/45°C) to activate the yeast.
  • If you don't have bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour, but the bread may not be as soft and fluffy.
  • You can add a little bit of honey or molasses to the dough for a different flavor.
  • You can also add raisins or cinnamon to the dough for a sweet variation.
  • Store the bread in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
