I've been making this bread for a little over 10 years now. It's made with basic pantry staples and is absolutely delicious!
Here's a pictorial for you. Hope you enjoy!
Mix 1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons instant potato flakes
1 1/2 cup warm water
Mix all these together and set aside for 90 minutes to rise.
It will be all bubbly after the time is up.
Stir down the mixture and add:
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2/3 cup sugar (1/2 cup works fine too.)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup oil
1 cup warm water
adding dry ingredients
adding the oil
adding the water
mixing them all together
all mixed and ready to be kneaded
flour your counter and dump the dough onto it, it will be very sticky, add flour as needed to work the dough, knead for about 2-4 minutes or until very elastic in texture,
all kneaded and ready to be put into the bowl for its 2nd rise

This bread smells so good while baking.
Easy and delicious.
You can also use whole wheat flour for the entire recipe or half white half wheat.
Enjoy!
