Instructions

1
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the sugar, salt, and oil, stirring until dissolved. Gradually stir in half of the all-purpose flour and beat until smooth. Knead in the remaining flour to form a soft dough that cleans the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch down the dough and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape each into a loaf. Place the loaves in four greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
