Homemade White Bread

This is a basic white bread recipe that is very simple that I found at The Wannabe Country Girl. You can even roll out half of the dough and use it for pizza dough. You can roll it up pretty or kinda rustic. As you can see, I did one of each.

 

Homemade White Bread

2 cups warm water
4 tsp yeast
1 Tbs sugar
1/4 cup oil
5 cups flour
2 tsp salt

Put warm water in a bowl and add yeast. Next add sugar and stir. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes.

In mixing bowl, place flour, oil and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture. Mix with dough hook (or by hand). Mix on low until ingredients are combined and dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Dump the dough on the counter. Spray bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place dough back in the bowl. Let rise about 25 minutes.

Punch dough down. Turn out onto floured surface. Knead about 5 minutes. Shape into 2 loaves by splitting dough in half and rolling out each half. Roll up each like a jelly roll and place on cookie sheet. Cut a few cuts on each loaf and let rise 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350°.

Bake 25 minutes.
