Amish White Bread


Makes 2 - 9x5 inch loaves 


Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ready in: 2 Hours 30 Minutes


2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 
2/3 cup white sugar 
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast 
1 1/2 teaspoons salt 
1/4 cup vegetable oil 
6 cups bread flour 


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

2 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. 

3 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. 

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