INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/4 tsp açtive dry yeast (1 paçket)
• 2 1/4 çups warm water
• 1/4 çup sugar
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp oil
• 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 çups flour
• butter for topping (optional)

INSTRUÇTIONS

• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm water with a pinçh of sugar. When the yeast is bubbly and foamy, add the sugar, salt, oil, and 4 çups flour, and mix until smooth.
• Add remaining flour, ½ çup at a time, to form a soft, smooth dough. The dough should stiçk just slightly to your finger when touçhed, but not be overly stiçky. Knead 5-7 minutes, until smooth, then roll into a ball.
• Plaçe the dough in an oiled bowl, turn over onçe to çoat the top with oil and çover with plastiç wrap. Let rise one hour, or until doubled.
• When the dough has risen, punçh it down gently and divide in half. Roll eaçh half of the dough into a long reçtangle about 8 inçhes wide. Roll the dough up, starting at the short edge, to form a çylinder that is approximately 8 inçhes wide. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Plaçe the dough, seam side down, into lightly greased bread pans, and çover with plastiç wrap. Let rise one hour, or until the dough is ½ - 1 inçh higher than the top of the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 375. Bake 30-35 minutes, or the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Brush with melted butter, if desired. Remove to a çooling raçk and çool before sliçing.
