Amish Style White Bread

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cs warm water (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
2/3 C white sugar
1 1/2 Tbsps. active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsps. salt
1/4 C vegetable oil
6 C bread flour

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until
yeast resembles creamy foam.

2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one C at a time. 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.

3. 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.

4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
