Ingredients
2 cups warm milk
⅔ cup sugar
1 ½ tbsp yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
¼ cup oil (vegetable or canola)
6 cups bread flour
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Stir in salt and oil.
Add flour gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook).
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch dough down and divide into two loaves. Place in greased loaf pans.
Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes until loaves are puffy.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Brush tops with melted butter after baking for a soft crust.
Can substitute part of the bread flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
This recipe makes 2 loaves.
Bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight bag for 3–4 days or frozen for longer storage.
