"This recipe will give you two loaves of plain, sweet white bread that are quick and easy to make."
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 2/3 cup white sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry |
yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 cup vegetable oil 6 cups bread flour |
DIRECTIONS:
1. |
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam. |
2. |
Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. |
3. |
Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans. |
4. |
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. |
