Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon oil
8 cups flour

Steps:

  • Add sugar, warm water, then yeast into mixing bowl. Let yeast prove.
  • Add rest of ingredients, kneading while adding flour one or two cups at a time.
  • Knead for 5 minutes.
  • Let the dough rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
  • Knead the dough down.
  • Split into two sections.
  • Using rolling pin, one at a time flatten each section into a large rectangle (about 17"x 9").
  • Roll the dough up to make a long loaf. Pinch the seam closed and turn the ends under.
