Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 to 115 F)1/3 cup sugar1 1/2 tbsp. traditional yeast1 tsp salt1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus extra for rising bowl and baking pan)6 cups (approx.) white flour
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine water and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.
2. Add yeast to sugar water and let proof*.
3. Mix in salt and oil.
4. Add flour one cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. This might mean more or less than the 6 cups.
5. Dump dough onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth.
6. Using a small amount of oil, coat the surface of a large clean bowl. Transfer the dough into the bowl and coat with the oil. Cover with a clean well-woven towel and allow to rise for about one hour.
7. After the one hour, oil two dark bread loaf pans. Dump the risen dough out onto a well floured surface and punch down the dough. Knead for a bit and then shape the dough into two roughly equal dough logs.
8. Place the log into the two pans and allow to rise for another hour in a warm place.
9. Preheat the oven to 350 F after the hour is up. Bake the bread for a half hour or until golden.
10. Remove baked bread from the pans and place on a rake to cool.
* I only started do this recently, as I know my yeast is good, but it makes the bread rise much better.
