How to Make Amish White Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• 1½ tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 6 cups bread flour

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Stir in the yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
2. Add the salt and oil. Mix in the flour one cup at a time.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 8 minutes.
4. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl. Turn it to coat all sides. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5. Punch down the dough. Knead for a few minutes. Divide in half and shape into loaves.
6. Place the loaves into two greased 9×5 inch loaf pans. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen 1 inch above the pans.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
8. Let cool before slicing.
