Ingredients
Serves : 36
- 750ml (1 1/4 pints) warm water
- 3 tablespoons dried active baking yeast

- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions
Prep:40min › Cook:40min › Ready in:1hr20min
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar and 3/4 of the flour. Mix thoroughly, and let rise until doubled in size.
- Gradually add remaining flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
- Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 20x10cm (8x4 in) greased loaf tins. Let rise until almost doubled.
- Bake at 180 C / Gas mark 4 for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with aluminium foil to prevent excess browning.

Made it healthier. I am a big fan of this recipe, but I no longer add the sugar - I find its too sweet with it and omitting it does not prevent it from rising. - 28 Nov 2009

Something else. Yummy bread and so easy in a mixer. I like to put the loaves in tins and place them in the freezer before they rise. Then I can have home baked bread any day I want. Just leave the frozen dough out in the morning to rise all day and bake it in the evening. This bread tastes good with everything, but be careful, it goes quick! - 14 Jul 2008
