Servings 2 loaves

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg. dry yeast active (1/4 oz)
  • 2 1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3 tbs. sugar
  • 1 tbs. salt
  • 2 tbs. canola oil
  • 6 1/4 to 6 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

Notes

Here's a basic yeast-risen white bread that bakes up deliciously golden brown.
