The Only Bread Recipe I’ve Been Successful With: Quick, Easy, and Tastes Great!
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast: Dissolve the sugar in warm water. Add the yeast to the mixture and let it proof for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Once the yeast has proofed, stir in the vegetable oil.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, one cup at a time. Stir or mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning it over to coat both sides with oil. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Loaves: After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into two loaves. Place them in greased bread pans and let them rise for 30-40 minutes.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finishing Touch: Brush the tops with butter while the bread is still warm for a soft, flavorful finish.
Enjoy your freshly baked bread!
