My Favorite White Bread

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.
