How to Make Avanti S Sweet Bread

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand undisturbed for 10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, eggs, salt, and sugar.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
4. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a shaggy dough forms.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
7. Gently punch down the dough and knead it briefly on a lightly floured surface.
8. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 14-inch oblong loaf.
9. Place the loaves on two greased baking sheets.
10. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 50-60 minutes, or until almost doubled.
11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Using a sharp knife, cut 3 diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf.
13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C).
14. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
