Description
Soft, bakery-style white bread baked inside an oven bag for even heat, steady rise, and tender slices ideal for sandwiches and toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups warm water (105–110°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand until foamy.
- Stir salt and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually mix in flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead dough with remaining oil until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into a loaf and place inside an oven-safe roasting bag.
- Let the dough rest briefly on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven until golden and baked through.
- Remove from the bag and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Do not seal the oven bag tightly to allow room for expansion.
- Open the bag during the last few minutes for a firmer crust.
- Cool the bread fully before slicing for best texture.
