Amish White Bread by Divya Gugnani
Makes 10 servings
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups warm water
2/3 cup white sugar
1.5 tbsp. active dry yeast
1.5 tsp. salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour
1/4 cup butter
PREPARATION:
1. In large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water, and then stir in the yeast. Proof until a creamy foam has formed. Mix the salt and oil into the yeast mixture.
2. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl and turn to evenly coat with the oil. Cover with damp cloth. Allow to rise for about one hour or until doubled.
3. Punch the risen dough down. Knead for about 4 minutes. Divide the dough in half. Shape into loaves and place in 9x5 loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes more.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool on racks and serve.
