Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 480 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 10 grams Salt
- 720 grams All-purpose flour
Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve the granulated sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Add the vegetable oil and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough becomes too thick to stir, transfer it to a clean work surface lightly floured with all-purpose flour.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air pockets. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each into a loaf.
Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and place the shaped dough inside them. Cover again with the kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing.
