Amish White Bread

For Young Women's we decided to make the Sacrament Bread. I grew up with homemade bread, but unfortunately don't have a bread maker. So I went on my search for a new recipe and Bo says, "Grandma Sycamore ain't got nothin' on your bread." I think he was just being nice, but I am not gonna lie, I'm very happy with my find! The two loaves we made tonight were gone with people going back for seconds. (We made two more for the Sacrament)
I used my Kitchenaid for all the mixing and kneading.
Anyways, hope you like it!

Makes: 2 9x5" loaves

INGREDIENTS:

2 C warm water (110°F)
2/3 C white sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C vegetable oil
6 C bread flour

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.

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 bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. 

Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5" loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough is risen 1" above pans.

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
