Amish White Bread

Steps

• 1

  In large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Stir in yeast. Allow to proof until mixture resembles a creamy foam.
• 2

  Mix salt and oil into the yeast mixture. Add flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in well oiled bowl, turning dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• 3

  Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into two loaves. Place into well oiled loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
• 4

  Bake at 350° F for 30 minutes.
