Basic White Bread

:Basic White Bread:

2 cups warm water

2/3 cup white sugar

1 1/2 T dry yeast (active)

1 1/2 t salt

1 1/4 c veg oil

6 c bread flour

Combine water yeast and sugar, mix well (I use my finger, it makes a slurry of sorts)

let proof 

mix flour and salt in separate bowl

Add veg oil to proofed yeast mixture

Combine flour mixture 1/2 cup or so at a time to the yeast mixture. Continue to add flour until dough forms.

Knead dough until gluten develops. The dough will become smooth.

When the dough has been kneaded enough cover in oil and place in the bowl you took it out of.

Cover with dishcloth

Let rise until doubled in size

Once risen "punch down" flip and let rise again 

Once risen the second time shape bread and let dough rise again

Bake at 350 (depending on your oven) 

Time depends on the loaf of your bread, if you tap on the bread and it sounds hollow it is done.
