Preparation Steps

• Gather all ingredients.
• Dissolve sugar in warm water in a large bowl, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix oil and salt into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
• Place in a well-oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down.
• Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well-oiled 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• Allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake the risen loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown for 30 minutes.
• Enjoy!
