Name: French Loaf

French Loaf

The fluffiest, most flavorful bread you will ever make!

In a small bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cup warm water and 2 T yeast. Let yeast proof for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, salt, oil and flour. Mix well until flour is blended. Dough will be sticky which is okay.
Let set for 10 minutes, knead and repeat 4 more times (i.e., letting it rise for 50 minutes and kneading 5 times).
Knead one last time before shaping into loaves (or putting in 2 bread pans).
Let the loaves rise for 45 minutes (or until double in size). Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
