Dissolve yeast in the warm water. In a mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, salt, sugar, oil, and dissolved yeast and mix until blended. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
With a Mixer:
Mixing with pastry hooks, slowly add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and knead until smooth. The dough will be very sticky and just needs additional flour so it can be handled.
Sprinkle a work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and turn out the dough, kneading briefly by hand, pulling in the flour, until it doesn’t stick to hands.
By Hand:
Add 1 1/2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and combine with hands to form a cohesive dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead in as much of the remaining flour as needed until the dough is smooth and doesn’t stick to hands.
Shape into two loaves, place on a non-stick cookie sheet, and on the middle rack in a cold oven for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 425 F (220 C) and bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes or until golden. Then, cool on a rack.
Tips
-To create a crustier top, just before baking score the loaves 3 times diagonally across the top.
-Optionally, just before baking, brush the top of the loaves with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds before placing in the oven.
