White Bread

2 pkg. yeast

2 ¾ C lukewarm water

½ C dry milk powder

2 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp salt

1/3 C oil

7-7 ½ C sifted flour

Nonstick cooking spray

Sprinkle yeast on water in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Add dry milk, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed about 3 minutes until batter is smooth. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place in 2 greased 9 inch loaf pans. Let rise until doubled, about 1-1 ½ hours. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until loaves are brown on top and sound hollow when tapped, Remove from pans and cool on a rack.
