Ingredients
Here’s what you’re gonna need to whip up this delightful bread:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get this bread baking!
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the vegetable oil.
- Gradually mix in the bread flour and salt. Start with 4 cups and add more flour as needed until the dough starts to pull away from the bowl.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once it’s risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan.
- Cover again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it’s about an inch above the top of the pan.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the loaf for about 30-35 minutes, or until it’s golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it up and serving.
