Homemade Bread Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 TBSPs sugar plus 1/2 TSP sugar
2-1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
1 TBSP salt
6-1/4 to 6-3/4 cups bread flour
2 TBSPs canola oil

Recipe Instructions:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/2 TSP sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on surface.
Whisk together remaining 3 TBSPs sugar, salt and 3 cups flour.
Stir oil into yeast mixture; pour into flour mixture and 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, 8-10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Punch dough down.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half.
Shape each into a loaf.
Place in 2 greased 9x5" loaf pans.
Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 200 degrees , 30-35 minutes.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
