Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water 110° F/45° C
  • 0.5 cups white sugar

  • 5-6 cups flour all-purpose flour OR bread flour

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, or a stand mixer, dissolve 2 tablespoon of the sugar in the warm water. Stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in remaining sugar, salt, and oil. Begin to mix, using a rubber scraper or the dough hook on your stand mixer. Add the flour one cup at a time, reserving the last cup of flour to see if you need it.
  • Knead dough for 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Knead for 1 minute and divide dough in half. Shape into loaves and place into two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
  • Bake at 350° F (175° C) for 30-40 minutes. Cool, brush with butter and enjoy!
