Description
A soft and fluffy Amish white bread with a slightly sweet taste. Perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating plain with butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 6 cups bread flour
Instructions
- Dissolve sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in salt and oil. Mix in flour one cup at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough, divide in half, and shape into loaves. Place in greased 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- Let rise again until dough reaches the top of the pans, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For a softer crust, brush melted butter on top after baking.
- Store bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
- You can replace part of the white flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
