Country White Bread
My favorite homemade bread recipe, full of rich flavor!
Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 1/2 to 7 cups all purpose flour, divided
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, oil and 3 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; kneed until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half and shape into two loaves. Place in two greased 9 in x 5 in by 3 in loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
