Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast (2 envelopes)
  • 6 cups bread flour

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
  • Stir in the warm milk, salt and oil into the yeast mixture.
  • Using the dough hook on a mixer or with a wooden spoon by hand, mix in flour, one cup at a time. Knead until smooth.
  • Place dough in well oiled bowl; turn to coat top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down, knead a few times. Divide dough in half.
  • Shape into loaves and place into 2 greased 9×5-inch loaf pans. Cover and allow to rise 30 minutes or until dough has risen about 1″ above pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and place on cooling racks. Brush the top of the loaves with a little melted butter right after you take them out of the pans so that the crust stays nice and soft.
