Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 cups warm water ( i microwave it for 2 min in a bowl until slightly warmer than body temperature - 105 degrees)

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar

  2. Mix the warm water, yeast and 1 tablespoons sugar together, set aside in a warm (not hot) place to proof (make sure the yeast is active) until frothy.
  3. In a very large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt, then make a well in the center.
  4. Into the well, add the oil, 4 beaten eggs and proofed yeast mixture.
  5. Mix with a wooden spoon, then knead until dough is stretchy.
  6. Let rise, covered, for 1 1/2-3 hours - at least until doubled.
