Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 6 cups bread flour
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and then stir in the yeast. Let rise until the yeast forms a creamy foam.
  • Mix the salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in the flour cup by cup. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Transfer to a well-oiled bowl and twist the batter to coat it. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until the volume doubles, about 1 hour.
  • Beat the dough. Knead for a few minutes and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place in two well-oiled 9x5-inch loaf molds. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes or until it has grown an inch past the molds.
  • Bake at 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees F) for 30 minutes.
