Bread

In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Blend well.

In saucepan, heat water and oil until very warm (120° to 130°).

Add warm liquid to flour mixture.

Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.

By hand, stir in an additional 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.

On floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 1 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Place dough in greased bowl.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel.

Let rise in warm place (80° to 85°) until light and doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles.

Divide dough in half; shape into balls. Allow to rest on counter, covered with inverted bowl for 15 minutes.

Shape into 2 loaves by rolling dough into two 14 x 7-inch loaves.

Cover; let rise in warm place until dough is 1-inch above pan.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes.
