Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast about one 7 g packet
  • 1.25 cups warm water about 105°F to 115°F
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, add the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to combine the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the warm water and vegetable oil into the bag with the dry ingredients. Seal the bag and gently knead and squeeze the mixture through the plastic until a sticky dough forms and the ingredients are evenly hydrated.
  • Leave the sealed bag in a warm spot and let the dough rise inside the bag until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Open the bag, transfer the dough into the pan, shape the top gently with damp hands, and cover with a clean towel. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes for a short second rise.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the loaf for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best texture, allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. Dough can be mixed in advance and refrigerated for a slower rise.
