Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Amish White Bread

Instructions

1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and vegetable oil.
3. Combine the mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is combined, forming a shaggy dough.
4. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the loaf: Once risen, punch the dough down to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
7. Second rise: Cover the loaf with the towel again and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.
8. Preheat oven: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake the bread: Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
