White Bread

5 C tepid water
2 T. yeast
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. oil
2 T. salt
10-12 C. flour

Pour water in bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water. Pour sugar evenly around bowl. Let yeast and sugar work for a few minutes. Add oil and salt and 4 C. flour and mix until smooth on speed 1.

Add 4 more cups, mix on 1 until mixed.
Add 2-3 more cups until bread is pulling away from sides of bowl, still on speed 1
Then add 1/2 to 1 C. more flour and knead at least 5 minutes on speed 3.

Dough should be only slightly sticky.

Spray oil on hands and pull dough out of bowl onto oil sprayed foil, wax paper, or counter. Separate into loaves, form, and place in oil sprayed pans. Let rise until doubled in size (can take up to 45 minutes or 1 hour or as little as 1/2 hour). Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from oven when top is golden brown and rub with butter. Remove bread from pans quickly, let cool completely before wrapping.
