Ingredients

  • 1 CUP HOT WATER
  • 2 TBSP SUGAR
  • 2-3/4 TSP YEAST (1 PACKET + 1/2 TSP)
  • 3 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR OR BREAD FLOUR
  • 1/4 CUP VEGETABLE OIL
  • 1-1/2 TSP SALT

Instructions

  • MIX TOGETHER THE HOT WATER (NOT SCALDING, BUT HOT FROM THE TAP), SUGAR AND YEAST AND STIR. LET SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, ALLOWING THE YEAST TO “BLOOM”
  • DUMP THIS MIXTURE INTO A STAND MIXER AND MIX IN THE VEGETABLE OIL, SALT AND THE FLOUR, ONE CUP AT A TIME, USING YOUR DOUGH HOOK. ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN USE A HAND MIXER TO COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS AND THEN KNEAD IT BY HAND
  • CONTINUE MIXING A FEW MINUTES UNTIL DOUGH CLINGS TO THE BREAD HOOK AND DOESN’T STICK TO THE BOWL. MIX ANOTHER 3-4 MINUTES AFTER THE NON-STICKY DOUGH IS FORMED.
  • REMOVE DOUGH FROM HOOK, PLACE DOUGH BALL IN A BOWL AND COVER WITH A LIGHT KITCHEN TOWEL. LET RISE IN A DRAFT-FREE AREA FOR APPROXIMATELY 1.5 HOURS OR UNTIL THE DOUGH DOUBLES IN SIZE.
  • PUNCH DOWN, SHAPE INTO AN OVAL LOAF-LIKE SHAPE AND TURN THE SEAMS UNDER.
  • PLACE IN A GREASED LOAF PAN; COVER LOOSELY WITH PLASTIC WRAP (SPRAY IT WITH COOKING OIL FIRST IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT IT STICKING).
  • LET DOUGH RISE A SECOND TIME UNTIL ALMOST DOUBLED – APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR.
  • BAKE IN LOAF PAN APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES AT 350 DEGREES
