Amish White Bread

I made this bread last week and it turned out splendidly. The taste was very similar to my Sweet Sourdough Bread without the sourdough. Very good!

Amish White Bread

2 cups warm water
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

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
2. 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 bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9×5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F  for 30 minutes. I brushed my with melted butter after they came out of the oven.

  1. Wow, I have this recipe! I printed it up about two years ago..and I was so afraid to make it because I didn't know to knead, well I made it last year and it came out perfect and my family loved it and this is the bread I bake for us all the time! Have a blessed day Melissa.
