This is by far THE BEST white bread I have ever tasted in my life. Found it on allrecipes.com a few years back and have never once had a bad loaf. It always turns out perfect every time. It's very simple to make, and it always makes 2 loaves which doesn't last long at our house. This white bread has a subtle sweet taste to it and really is amazing.
Amish White Bread
- 2 cups warm water
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 6 cups bread flour (start with 5 cups and add if needed)
DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in the yeast. Allow to proof (about 10 minutes) until yeast resembles a creamy foam. Mix salt and oil 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 mixing bowl, turning dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise about an hour. Punch dough down, knead dough for a few minutes and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two PAM-sprayed 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (This dough can be shaped to make rolls as well. Just change the baking time to be anywhere from 10-20 minutes...depending on the shape of the roll).
