White Bread
4 C warm water
2 Tbsp yeast
1 Tbsp salt
1/3 C oil
2/3 cup sugar
10-12 cups flour
Pour water into a large mixing bowl. Add
yeast, salt, oil and honey and 5 cups of flour. Mix to
combine. Gradually mix in an additional 5 cups of flour, 1 cup
at a time until dough is smooth. Knead by hand for 5-10
minutes. Cover with dish towel and let dough rise until doubled in
size. Grease 3 loaf pans. Set aside. Punch down dough, turn onto
a floured surface. Knead gently to remove air bubbles. Divide dough
into thirds, knead each section a few times. Shape into
loaves and place into prepared pans. Cover with a dish towel and let
rise 30-45 minutes. Dough is ready when you can press down slightly
and your finger and the dent remains. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake
for 30 minutes. Immediately remove from pans. Cool
on wire racks. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
