Janelle’s White Bread

 

1 T. yeast

2 c. warm water (110 degrees)

¼ c. sugar

1½ t. salt

2 T. oil

5-6 c. bread flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, and oil. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add a cup of flour at a time until dough is the right consistency. Knead. Let rise for 2 hours until double in size. Punch down and let rise for 10 minutes. Divide in half and shape into 2 loaves. Put in pans and let rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

*Rub butter across tops of loaves while still warm for a softer crust.

Cooks note: Can use dough for pizza crusts. Will make 4 crusts.
