BASIC WHITE BREAD


6 cups hot water
3/4 cup oil
3 tbs salt
4 1/2 tbs sugar
15 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp instant yeast
2 tbs oil (to coat the kneaded dough)

Take huge mixing bowl and pour in your water, oil, salt and sugar. Mix well until all sugar and salt are melted. Then add 13 cups of the flour and sprinkle yeast on top. Mix with a wooden spoon until you no longer can and then start kneading by hand adding the last 2 cups of flour gradually. Knead well for about 5- 10 minutes until your dough is smooth and easy to knead. You might have to add a little more flour if your dough is still sticky after kneading for a bit.

Stretch the dough like in the picture below to help you with the kneading. Knead and stretch, knead and stretch.......This trick really does work to help make your dough more workable and for good rising
