Ingredients
- 1 cup starter
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups water
- 5 to 6 cups Bread Flour
- 1 Tablespoon yeast
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Using your hands or a stand mixer, mix the ingredients together until you have a nice dough that leaves the side of the bowl but is still soft.
- Knead by hand or with a stand mixer. Knead by hand for about 10 minutes, or if using a stand mixer, knead for 2 minutes.
- Clean, dry and grease the bowl and place the dough back into the prepared bowl.
- Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel or loosely with plastic wrap in a draft-free warm place (countertop is fine).
- Allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and roll and shape into 3 thick logs.
- Place into 3 greased loaf pans and cover loosely again and allow to rise until almost double, about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown or an internal temperature of 200 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
- This dough also makes delicious dinner rolls. Instead of shaping into 3 loaves, pinch off dough into walnut-sized balls and place on a greased sheet pan and follow the same rise and baking instructions.
