    Yield:

    loaves

    Units: US | Metric

    • 2 1/2 cups water, at a temperature between 105 and 115 F
    • 2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 6 1/2 cups flour

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Mix the water, yeast, and sugar together in a small bowl.
    2. 2
      Add the salt to 5 1/2 cups of the flour in a large bowl.
    3. 3
      Set the other cup of flour aside. Mix the liquid and the dry together and then add the oil.
    4. 4
      Mix until it comes away from the sides of the bowl, sprinkle some of the last cup of flour on a wooden surface, and knead until the dough gets sticky again.
    5. 5
      Keep adding more flour and keep kneading.
    6. 6
      Push forward, fold over, push forward, fold over.
    7. 7
      I do this one handed because I have to, but it works.
    8. 8
      Put a little oil in the large bowl, that has been scraped clean, add the kneaded dough and roll it over a few times to coat. Cover, let stand for about one hour in a warm place. Punch down, cut the dough in half and roll it out to about a 9 inch by 18 inch rectangle. Roll it up, tuck in the ends and place in a very well lubricated ( I use crisco) glass baking dish.
    9. 9
      Repeat with the other half, and then cover with a cloth and let it rise again for about 45 minutes.
    10. 10
      Use a sharp knife to put a few slashes in the top, brush with a little beaten egg or milk, and put into a pre-heated 375 (f) oven for 30 minutes.
    11. 11
      The bread is done when an instant read thermometer reads 190 (f).
