Ingredients
12 Servings
- 9 g active dry yeast
- 960 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g salt
- 200 g sugar
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 480 ml warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
Step 2
Mix salt and oil into the yeast mixture. Add flour one cup at a time.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
