Hot Bread

Prep : 20 minutes + rising     Bake : 30 minutes + cooling       Make 32 serving  ----- Yield  2 loaves 

I     package  (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2-1/4     cups warm water  (110* TO 115*
3        tablespoons  sugar 
1       tablespoon salt
2        tablespoons canola oil 
6-1/4     cups all-purpose  flour 

1 .   In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

2 .   Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

3 .   Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

4 .   Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
