Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Warm water About 110°F
  • 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
  2. 2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast mixture. Mix in flour one cup at a time.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
