Sunday Evening Treat



Real Easy Bread
(it really is)

2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup sugar

Dissolve yeast in water & add sugar. Proof 15 minutes

1/2 cup oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
about 6 cups flour (I use both whole wheat & plain white)

Add these ingredients to the liquid mixture. Mix in enough flour for the dough to release from the sides of the bowl. Let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. (If I have time, I let it go through the rising process one more time). Punch down and knead for about 5 minutes. Form into two loaves and place into bread pans that have been prepared with baking spray. Let rise again until doubled in bulk. Place in a cold oven and bake at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes. Remove from pans and place on a cooling rack. Rub the tops with butter. Great with Joe's Grape Jelly or homemade honey butter. Oh my!
