Ingredients
- 2 cups water warm
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast 2 packets
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 5 1/2 cups flour bread flour or all-purpose flour
- butter for brushing the finished loaves
Instructions
- Dissolve the sugar in the warm water in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and let it stand about 5 minutes, until creamy foam forms on top.
- Mix in the vegetable oil. Add the salt and flour, mixing in the flour 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Scrape the bowl and turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead until smooth and elastic. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turn it to coat and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and put it in a greased 9-inch loaf pan. Let rise for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Brush the loaves with butter while they are still in the pans. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.
Notes
The prep time includes both rises. The butter for brushing has no set amount and is not counted in the nutrition. The recipe makes two loaves.
