Grandma's Perfect Homemade Bread
  1. In a stand mixer, add 2 ½ cups warm water, ¼ cup sugar, 1 ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 Tablespoon dry active yeast. Let the yeast proof until it bubbles for about 5 minutes.

  2. Using the dough hook, start adding the 5 cups all-purpose flour one cup at a time until the dough combines and forms a soft dough.

  3. On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic and form a ball.

  4. Add 2 Tablespoons oil to the large bowl, add the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise until it has doubled 1-1 ½ hours.

  5. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch pans. Punch the dough to release the air.

  6. Lay the dough onto a flat surface and cut it into two loaves. Roll each loaf up and place it into the loaf pans.

  7. Let rise until it doubles another 1-1 ½ hours.

  8. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on the tops.

  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
