Dough:
- 1¾ cups warm water (397 grams)
- 1 tablespoon SAF instant yeast (or active dry) (9 grams)
- ½ tablespoon salt (9 grams)
- ¼ cup canola oil (or vegetable oil) (37 grams)
- 3 tablespoons honey (63 grams) (or white sugar)
- 4½ cups unbleached bread flour (or all-purpose flour) (585 grams)
- Add the liquid ingredients: Combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, and honey in a mixer with a dough hook attached.
- Initial mixing: Add 4 cups of flour to the mixer and begin mixing the dough. Slowly add the remaining ½ cup of flour until the dough is slightly sticky but forms a ball as it kneads.
- Kneading: Knead the dough for 6-9 minutes in a mixer until smooth and elastic.
- Rising: Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Shaping: Divide the dough, shape it into loaves, and place them in prepared pans.
- Second rise: Allow the loaves to rise until they reach the desired size.
- Baking: Preheat the oven, bake the loaves until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- You can brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter after baking for a softer crust.
- Store the bread in a plastic bag or airtight container once cooled to keep it fresh.
