Amish Sandwich Bread

This is our favorite sandwich bread to make.  Beats store bought any day of the week.  

Written recipe was done using my stand mixer, video shows how to make this without one.

1 C. warm tap water
2 1/4 tsp. instant yeast (1 pkt.)
2 T. sugar
1/8 C. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 - 3 C. all purpose flour (plus more for kneading)

To the bowl of a stand mixer (or a mixing bowl if not using a mixer) add the water, yeast and 1T. sugar.  Allow to proof (foam up for 5-6 minutes).  Add the oil, salt, remaining sugar and 2 1/2 C. of the flour.  Begin mixing on low speed.  Once the dough begins to form and pull away from the sides test the dough, it should be soft and not wet or sticky.  Depending on the humidity in your home you might need to add a little more flour to get the dough to that consistency.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead it for 5 minutes.  Roll the dough out to the length of your loaf pan then roll to 1/4" thickness.  Working with the dough side closets to you begin to tightly roll up the dough.  Once rolled, pinch the seam together and tuck under the edges.  Place seam side down in your lightly greased loaf pan.  Cover lightly with a clean towel and let rise till doubled in size, about an hour.  Bake the loaf in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.  Let the bread cool for a minute in the pan then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
