• 2 cups Very Warm Water

• 1 1/2 Tablespoon heaping Instant Yeast

• 1/4 cup Sugar

• 2 Tablespoons Oil

• 4 3/4 - 5 1/4 cups White Bread Flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt

Place warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and stir. Stir in sugar and let proof (start to form a creamy foam) for 5 minutes.

Add oil and flour. Begin by adding half of the flour. Start to mix using the dough hook. Add salt. (if you add the salt too early it can kill the yeast) Add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Using Bosch or KitchenAid, knead for 5 minutes at medium-high speed. If you don't own a stand mixer, you can knead by hand till smooth. I don’t keep a KitchenAid mixer on the RV so I knead about 50-75 turns till it feels smooth.

Cover the dough in the bowl with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place for 25 minutes or until doubled in size.

Tip: If you live in a cold place, you may place it in a warm oven. Set oven to 200 degrees, turn off, and then place dough in an ovenproof bowl in the oven and let rise.

Place oil on hands and shape into two bread loaves, or 16 dinner rolls, or one loaf and 8 rolls. Spray pans with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden.

Once bread is done, remove from the oven and spread butter all over warm loaves/rolls.

Let cool for several minutes before removing from the pan.

Make sure it’s totally cool before placing it into a wrap or bag for storage.

Unlike store bought bread, this bread only stays fresh up to 4 days because there are no preservatives. Of course, in our house, it rarely lasts 2 days because we eat it!
