- 6 cups bread flour
Instructions
- Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit until foamy.
- Add salt, vegetable oil, and bread flour; mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.
- Punch down the dough and divide into two loaves.
- Let the loaves rise for 30-45 minutes in greased pans.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush the loaves with water/egg.

Ensure the water temperature is correct to activate yeast.
Kneading is crucial for the best texture.
Let the dough rise undisturbed for maximum fluffiness.
