Amish White Bread

I know bread can kind of be an intimidating thing, but just give this a try! It's really pretty easy! This is my go to white bread recipe that doesn't require a bread machine.

Submitted by: Jessica

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2/3 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbl active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 cups bread flour
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water, then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
  2. Mix salt and oil into yeast. Mix flour 1 cup at a time. I love to use my kitchen aid with a bread hook for this part (but you don't have to)



  3. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, then turn dough to coat. 


Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.


 4. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes and divide in half. Shape into loaves & place into 2 oiled/sprayed 9x5 loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.



    5. Bake at 320* for around 42 minutes.
I spread some butter on top right when it comes out of the oven.

Enjoy!!
