Ingredients

• 5.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water (around 110°F or 43°C) and the sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is active.

Step 3

Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in 3 cups of all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Grease a large mixing bowl with vegetable oil. Place the kneaded dough into the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide the dough into two equal portions.

Step 8

Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 9

Cover the loaf pans with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.

Step 11

Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the loaves from the pans and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
