Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of yeast (or 2 small envelopes)
- 3 cups of very warm water
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 10-11 cups of white flour
Directions
-
Dissolve the yeast in the very warm water. Add oil, eggs, salt and sugar. Let foam for a few minutes.
-
Add enough flour to make dough smooth. Place in a LARGE greased bowl (I reuse the mixing bowl) and turn the dough to coat it.
-
Cover, let rise for 1 1/2 hours while you do something else!
-
Punch down the dough. Turn over, let rise another 30 minutes.
-
Cut dough into 5 or 6 portions (more if you want a smaller loaf size). Let rise 10 minutes.
-
Flatten dough, pressing out all of the air (yes that’s right, flatten it!). Form into loaves and place on a greased floured baking sheet (or in greased floured loaf pans).
-
Cover, let rise 1 more hour.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy! (You can let loaves cool and wrap them, put in Ziploc bags and freeze to thaw, leave at room temperature for an hour or wrap in foil and stick in a 300 degree oven for 1/2 hour or so if serving hot)
