How to Make Amish Bread
- In a large bowl, dissolve 1 cup of granulated sugar in 1 cup of warm water (105-115°F).
- Add 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) of active dry yeast and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in ⅓ cup vegetable oil and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt.
- Gradually add 6-7 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large, well-oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf.
- Place each loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another hour, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
