Never Fail White Bread

While my kids love sweets, my husband is bread-crazy, so we often bake bread at home :)

5 - 6 cups bread flour

1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast

2 cups lukewarm water

1 tsp salt

4 tbsps vegetable oil

8 tbsps sugar

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water, let stand until foamy. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, mix sugar and bread flour well.

When water mixture already foamy, mix in salt and oil, mix well. Mix in flour one cup at a time.

Knead dough on a floured surface. Place in an oil greased bowl, turn dough to coat. Cover with damp towel, place in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. Punch down dough.

Divide in half. Knead each for a bit and shape to loaves, place in loaf pans, let rest for another half hour. Loaves will rise in size again.

Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.

Once bread is done, take out and brush with butter.

This recipe makes 2 loaves!
