Jared and I are poor so we decided one day to make our bread instead of buying it because it is a TON cheaper! I actually just found this recipe online, it's pretty easy.
5-6 c flour
3 T sugar
2 tsp salt
2 packages dry yeast
2 c water
1/4 vegetable oil
Mix together all dry ingredients except half of the flour. Add warm water and oil, blend for 3 min. Add rest of flour, mix well and then knead for about 10 min. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in bowl in a warm place until double in size (about an hour). Punch down, then divide into two balls and let them rise under the bowl for 15 min. Put each ball into a greased loaf pan and shape into bread loaf. Let rise for one more hour, until the dough is about an inch higher than the top of the pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 min. (makes 2 loaves- if you're only making one loaf, I suggest only baking for about 30-35 min) Take bread out of pan and let cool on a cooling rack and brush with butter. YUM! Nothing better than warm bread fresh from the oven topped with butter and apricot jam!
