If you like to make your own bread, try this one. You won't be disappointed. I got it from a magazine around 1978.
Ingredients:
2 packages of active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105-115F)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup salad oil
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough of the remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto lightly floured board: knead until smooth and elastic 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; brush top with oil and cover. Let rise in warm place until dough is double in size..about 45 minutes.
Punch down the dough and divide in half. Roll each half into rectangle 18x9, roll up beginning at the short side. With side of hand, press each end to seal. Fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in greased loaf pan 9x5x3". Brush loaves with salad oil. Let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 400 F. Bake about 35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
