Homemade Bread

Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp oil
6-7 cups all-purpose flour

Methods:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, oil, and 3 cups of flour.
Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour 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 lightly floured surface; divide dough in half.
Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9" x 5" loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
