Ingredients
1/4 cup mild vegetable oil (coconut oil works really well here!)
Instructions
Conventional Method
1. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and milk in a large bowl.
3. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the yeast mixture gets foamy.
5. With the mixer running add the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough pulls away
from the bowl.
9. Oil the top of the dough and then cover with a damp cloth.
10.Allow it to rise until it has doubled in bulk. This will take about an hour.
14.Shape into loaves and then place in greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.
16.Let rise for 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen an inch or so above the pans.
17.Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
18.For a soft crust butter the tops and place a clean tea towel over the baked loaves as
soon as you take them out of the oven. Let them cool for about 5 minutes and then
take them out of the pans to finish cooling, covering them back up with the tea
towel.
