Course Breads, Yeast Bread
Servings 2 loaves

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbs dry yeast (or two 7g packets)
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups warm-hot water
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Put 4 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into large bowl. Pour in hot water and oil and mix until combined- it will be sticky. Add the remaining flour in increments until dough is no longer sticky.
  • Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth. Place dough back into bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and let it rise until double its size- about 1/2 hour.
  • Punch it down and divide dough into two pieces.
  • Roll pieces long enough to fill two well-oiled loaf pans and leave to rise until dough has reached the rim of the pan.
  • Bake at 400F for 40 minutes.
  • Rub hot breads with water and wrap in a tea towel to ‘sweat' to soften the crust.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, this is the easiest yeast dough recipe by far. There is no overbearing yeast flavor and it is a good dense bread. Please note: time to make includes rising time.
