Favorite White Sandwich Bread

Note:  I don not use a mixer for this recipe, so you will have to adjust the kneading times yourself if you do.  Here is a link to the original from Farm Girl Fare.  She has a lot of additional helpful info. as well!!

Ingredients:

• 10 Cups White Flour (Trading some of the white flour out for whole White-wheat give it sort of an English muffin flavor)
• 4 cups very warm water (about 110 deg.)
• 1 1/2 T Yeast
• 2 T Oil
• 2 T Sugar
• 2T Salt

How to make it:

1. Put 4 cups of the flour in a large bowl with the yeast.  Let it sit at room temp for a bit so you don't shock the yeast.
2. add 4 cups very warm water and stir vigorously until combined well.
3. Add the oil, sugar and stir.
4. Add as much remaining flour as you can stir.
5. Pour about a cup of flour on your counter and pour the dough on top.  Add about another 1/2 cup to the top, and start kneading it all in.  Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.  You want to use as little flour as possible in the process.  
6. Place the bowl upside down over your dough.  Let it sit for 20 minutes.
7. Flatten dough out and add salt.  Knead it into the dough for a few minutes.
8. Flour the bowl and place the dough inside.  Cover with a damp cloth.  Let rise about 1 hour until double.
9. Flatten the dough, and divide into three portions.  I like to roll it with a rolling pin into a rectangle, then roll the rectangle and seal the bottom and the ends.  Place in well greased bread pans spray with cooking spray and cover  loosely with plastic wrap, or a damp cloth.  Let rise about 1 hour, again until double. If your room is not warm it will take longer to rise, but a longer rise is okay and makes the flavor even better.
10. Bake in the oven at about 375 until golden brown. ENJOY!!
11. Cut into a loaf, take a loaf to your neighbor, and keep the third for the rest of the week :)
