Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 1/4 ounce active dry yeast
  • 2 1/4 cups warm water 110-115 degrees F
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 cups whole grain white flour I used King Arthur brand

Instructions
 

  • ACTIVATE YEAST- Heat water to 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit and dissolve yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes and then stir. Add sugar, salt, oil, and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms.
  • KNEAD DOUGH & LET RISE- Turn over onto floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl turning once so both sides are greased. Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • PUNCH DOUGH- Punch down dough and divide into two. Shape each dough half into a bread loaf. Place in two greased 9x5 loaf pans. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • BAKE BREAD- Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Bread will sound hollow when tapped. Let bread cool on wire racks.
