Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon or dough whisk
  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 kitchen towel or plastic wrap
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Add vegetable oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture.
  • Mix the ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
  • Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan.
  • Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes or until the dough rises to the top of the pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. If your kitchen is cold, allow the dough to rise in a slightly warmed oven (turned off) to ensure it doubles properly. To check if the bread is done, tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
