Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon yeast
  • 2 cups warm (not hot) water
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter to coat top (optional but recommended!)

Instruction

  • Spray a large bowl generously with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large stand mixer (affiliate link) bowl combine water and sugar. Add yeast and allow to sit for 15minutess or until frothy.
  • Add oil and salt and set mixer on low speed with dough hook. Slowly add flour a cup at a time.
  • When all flour is added and dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl transfer dough to a floured surface and knead lightly for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to greased bowl and flip it over to coat lightly with nonstick spray. Cover loosely with cling wrap and let rise for one hour.
  • Punch dough to release air and divide in half.
  • Grease two loaf pans (I use these that are 9" by 5") and place half dough in each and again cover loosely with cling wrap for an additional hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove cling wrap and bake bread for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush top with melted butter if desired. Let cool 15 minutes before removing to wire rack.
