Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup (480 ml) s warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 66666668653488 cup (160 ml) white sugar
- 5 tablespoon (23 ml) s active dry yeast
- 25 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 5 teaspoon (8 ml) s salt
- 6 cup (1440 ml) s bread flour
Instructions
- Collect all necessary components.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar with warm water and then add the yeast. Let it sit until the yeast forms a creamy froth, which should take 5 to 10 minutes.
- Incorporate the oil and salt into the yeast mixture. Gradually blend in the flour, one cup at a time.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes smooth.
- Transfer the dough into a bowl that has been generously oiled and turn it over to ensure it is fully coated. Cover it with a moist cloth and let it rise until its size doubles, approximately 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough by pressing down on it.
- Knead the dough briefly, then divide it into two equal parts. Shape each half into a loaf and set them in two well-oiled 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- Allow the dough to rise until it extends about an inch above the edge of the pans, roughly 30 minutes.
- While waiting, set the oven to preheat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the loaves in the preheated oven and bake until they achieve a golden brown color, around 30 minutes.
- Savor your homemade bread!
Notes
- Use water at 110°F (45°C) to activate yeast; cooler won’t work, hotter kills itnKnead dough 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic for good texturenTurn dough in oiled bowl for full coverage to prevent drying during rise
