AMISH WHITE BREAD

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Warm Water (110 degrees F / 45 degrees C)

2/3 Cup White Sugar

1 ½ Tbsp Active Dry Yeast

1 ½ Tsp Salt

¼ Cup Vegetable Oil

6 Cups of Bread Flour

Directions:

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

Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup 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.

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.

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