Classic White Bread Recipe: Soft and Delicious

Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2. Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm and draft-free area for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Punch the dough down and knead it again for a few minutes. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan.
6. Cover the pan with a clean cloth and let the dough rise again in a warm, draft-free area for about 30 minutes, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.
7. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
