Amish White Bread

2 C warm water(110 degree F )
2/3 C white sugar
1 1/2 T yeast
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C vegetable oil
6 C bread flour
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy froth. Mix salt and oil into the yeast mix. Mix in flour 1 C at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl. Turn to coat top. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place into 2 well oiled loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1" above pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
