Ingredients

  • 5 1/4 CUPS WHITE BREAD FLOUR
  • 2 – 4 TBSP. SUGAR
  • 1 1/2 TSP. SALT
  • 1 1/2 TBSP. (ROUNDED) SAF-INSTANT YEAST
  • 1 1/2 TBSP. OIL
  • 2 CUPS WARM WATER (SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 100 AND 115 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT)

Instructions

  • 1. MIX DRY INGREDIENTS. ADD OIL AND WATER. MIX FOR 1 MINUTE AND THEN CHECK THE CONSISTENCY OF THE DOUGH. THE DOUGH SHOULD BE VERY STICKY. IF IT IS TOO DRY, ADD MORE WATER.
  • 2. MIX FOR 5 MINUTES. (DO NOT ADD ANY MORE FLOUR AFTER THE DOUGH HAS FINISHED MIXING.)
  • 3. SPRAY KNEADING SURFACE WITH COOKING SPRAY AND TURN DOUGH OUT ONTO SURFACE. KNEAD DOUGH BRIEFLY UNTIL IT HAS A SMOOTH EVEN CONSISTENCY (THIS WILL ONLY TAKE SEVERAL TURNS OF THE DOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH).
  • 4. DIVIDE DOUGH INTO 2 PIECES (OR MORE IF YOU WISH TO HAVE SMALLER LOAVES) AND SHAPE LOAVES INTO DESIRED SHAPES AND PLACE ON GREASED BAKING SHEETS. COVER WITH A LARGE DISH TOWEL AND LET RISE FOR 25 MINUTES.
  • 5. WHILE LOAVES ARE RISING, PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. WHEN LOAVES ARE READY TO GO INTO THE OVEN, USE A SHARP KNIFE (YOU CAN LIGHTLY SPRAY YOUR KNIFE WITH COOKING SPRAY TO PREVENT DRAGGING) TO MAKE SEVERAL SLASHES IN THE TOP. MAKE EACH CUT ABOUT 1/4-INCH DEEP AT A 30 DEGREE ANGLE. BAKE LOAVES FOR 25 MINUTES, OR UNTIL THEY ARE GOLDEN BROWN.
