GRANDMA'S PERFECT HOMEMADE BREAD

Steps:

• In a stand mixer add the warm water, sugar, salt and yeast. Let the yeast proof until it bubbles for about 5 minutes. Using the dough hook start adding the flour one cup at a time until the dough combines and forms a soft dough.
• On a floured surface knead the dough until smooth and elastic and form a ball. Add the oil to the large bowl and add the dough to the bowl and cover. Let rise until it has doubled 1- 1 1/2 hours.
• Grease and flour 2 9x5 inch pans. Punch the dough to release the air. Lay the dough onto a flat surface and cut into two loaves. Roll each loaf up and place into the loaf pans. Let rise until it doubles another 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on the tops. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Remove 1 cup starter and keep in fridge for the next time you wish to make 4 loaves.
• Add remaining ingredients in the order listed.
• Use only enough flour to make the dough easy to handle.
• Knead on floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Let rise in a greased bowl, keep in a warm place, cover it, until about doubled. Knead again and divide into 4 equal parts.
• Shape each loaf into a 9" round & place in 9" greased cake pans.
• Let rise again.
• Bake in 375°F oven for approx 45 minutes or until done (loaf sounds hollow when you tap on it and it should be golden brown).
