This is an old recipe I got years ago from a good friend of mine. My children won't eat store bread anymore because of this recipe. Freezes well. Ingredients:

1 teaspoon salt (heaping) |
1/2 cup oil |

1. In a large mixing bowl put in the sugar.
2. Add the water and sprinkle with the yeast.
3. Let stand 10 minutes.
4. Stir yeast mixture with a whisk.
5. Add salt and oil, stir again.
6. Gradually add flour one cup at a time, stirring with the whisk until too thick to stir.
7. Swich to a wooden spoon until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
8. Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes while adding remaining flour.
9. Spray an extra large bowl with vegetable spray.

11. Spray dough with the vegetable spray.
12. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place 1 1/4 hours.
