Amish White Bread

I got this recipe from a friend. It is very easy, and doesn't take long to make.

Ingredients

1. 473.2 ml warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2. 157.7 ml white sugar
3. 22.2 ml active dry yeast
4. 7.4 ml salt
5. 59.1 ml vegetable oil
6. 1419.5 ml bread flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
