3 Tbs sugar
2 1/4 c very warm water (120 - 130F)
1 1/2 Tbs yeast
stir gently and wait for yeast to foam a little
add
3 Tbs oil
3 1/2 c flour
1 Tbs salt (make a little hole in the flour to put the salt in and mix a little so salt doesnt kill the yeast)
mix
add 3 - 4 c flour, one cup at a time until the dough is not sticky
cover and let rise until double in size
punch down
split in two loaves
roll edges under until seams are on the bottom of the loaves and place each loaf in a greased bread pan
bake on lower rack at 425 for 25 - 30 minutes or until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
when pans are cool enough to touch, remove bread from pans and cool on a wire rack.
