Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water 110°F (45°C) (237 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar 25 g
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 7 g
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 60 ml
  • 1 teaspoon salt 6 g
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 375 g

Method
 

  1. Dissolve yeast in sugar water:

    In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons white sugar with 1 cup warm water (110°F (45°C)) until dissolved. Sprinkle 1 package active dry yeast over the surface and let sit for about 10 minutes, until foamy.

  2. Knead dough until elastic:

    Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture and stir. Gradually incorporate 3 cups all-purpose flour one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough comes together, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. Let dough rise until doubled:

    Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and turn to coat evenly. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm environment until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  4. Shape loaf and second rise:

    Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Form into a loaf and place into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.

  5. Bake until golden brown:

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and tapping the loaf produces a hollow sound.
