White Bread

I got this recipe online somewhere and it was soooo good!  As you can see by the time I found time to take a picture the  last loaf of bread had been attacked by my hubby! LOL

I used my bread machine and set it to the dough setting.

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)

3 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 tbsp vegetable oil

3 cups all purpose flour or bread flour

2 1/4 tsp yeast ( 1 package)

Directions:

Place ingredients in the bread machine as listed and set for dough setting.

When finished remove from machine and using a floured surface punch down and knead for a few minutes then divide in half.  Shape into loaves and place in two well greased loaf pans.

allow to rise for 30 minutes or until dough has risen one inch above pans.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
