White Bread

We LOVE this bread.  As soon as I bake it, it's gone.

Ingredients:
3 cups warm water
3 T active dry yeast
3 tsp salt
4 T oil
1/2 cup sugar
8 cups of flour (more or less)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
2. Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth.  I use my Bosch mixer with the dough hook and let it for ten minutes mixing it up. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
3. Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.
