- add the oil then continue to mix until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.¼ cup vegetable oil
- continue using the slow speed and kneed the dough for 6-10 minutes until you see the dough become smooth.
- turn the dough out of the bowl onto a clean dry surface and kneed until the dough starts to tighten up a bit and become super smooth.
- poke a finger in the top and if the indent bounces back fairly quickly the dough should be perfect.
- oil the bowl and place the dough smooth side up and allow to rise until it has doubled in size. about 1- 1.5 hours. place the bowl in a warm spot in the kitchen or if you have a rise setting on your oven you can also use that.
- punch the risen dough down the turn out onto a clean dry surface.
- prepare 2 5x9 loaf pans with either a spray of cooking oil or butter then set aside.
- divide dough into 2 then begin to form the fist one into a rectangle that is about 9 inches wide and 12-15 inches long.
- starting at the small side roll the dough up like a carpet and tuck in the sides.
- add the dough into one of the loaf pans seam side down.
- repeat these last few steps with the second loaf.
- cover and place loaves in the same warm place to rise and double for 1 more hour.
- pre heat oven to 375°f
- carefully place the loaves in the oven and bale for 30 -35 minutes until the bread has a nice golden brown colour
- remove baked loaves from the oven and immediately remove from the loaf pans and place on a cooling rack.
- I know its hard to wait but do not cut into the warm bread. Th bread is toll baking on the inside and needs to continue until it has fully cooled.
- slice and enjoy!
