Sweet Amish White Bread

Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2/3 cup white sugar
2 packets of active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour


Directions
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
  2. 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, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes.
Use Kraft singles or generic to make the greatest grilled cheese you ever had. I love fresh sliced tomatoes, and crispy bacon on mine.
