Serves: 32 / Preparation time: 20 minutes / Cooking time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 (¼-ounce) package active dry yeast
6¼-6¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2¼ cups warm water
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
1. In a large bowl, place yeast and warm water and mix until dissolved. Add 3 cups
flour, sugar, salt and oil and beat until well blended and smooth. Slowly, add
remaining flour, ½ cup at a time and mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Transfer the dough onto a generously floured surface and with your hands, knead until
smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl and turn to coat well. With
a plastic wrap, cover the bowl and set aside in a warm place for about 1½ hours.
3. Uncover and with your hands, punch down the dough. Transfer the dough onto a
lightly floured surface and cut into 2 equal sized portions. Shape each dough portion
into a loaf. Put 1 loaf into each of a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. With a plastic wrap,
cover the loaf pans and set aside in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
5. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top of loaves become golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and place onto wire racks to cool for about 8-10 minutes.
Carefully invert the loaves onto wire racks to cool completely before slicing. With a
sharp knife, cut the bread loaves into desired-sized slices and serve.
