In the Stevens family, my husband's dad has a bread recipe that is phenomenal. We asked him to share the recipe and this is what I got.
In small bowl add 1 cup warm not hot water. Add 2 tbsp yeast. Sprinkle with sugar. Do not stir. Let bubble. In large bowl put 4 cups of flour. Mix in 3/4 cup sugar. Add tbsp salt. Add 1 cup of warm water to yeast mixture. Add to big bowl. Then add 1/3 cup oil. Stir. Keep adding flour and stirring until mixture is moist but not sticky. Knead until you get tired. Put breadmixture in greased bowl, cover with towel for 35 minutes. Punch down mixture. Divide in two. Make loaves. Put them in greased bread pans and cover. Let rise 1/2 hour. Pre heat oven to 325. Put in loaves after taking off towel(s). Let cook for 30 minutes or until brown. Take loaves out and put them on a drying rack. Let stand for 10 minutes. Put butter on top of loaves. Cut bread and butter. Clean up kitchen.
I like to make my recipe like this for easy read. I usually omit the extra cup of water and flower because it can be a bit ombiguos and harder to judge if you don't have the experience.
