Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon yeast
5 cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons oil (I used olive oil)

Tips:

  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Use the Right Amount of Crisco: Follow the recipe's measurements precisely to achieve the desired texture and consistency.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Proper kneading develops the gluten.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: Find a warm spot in your kitchen, ideally between 75-85°F (24-29°C), to allow the dough to rise properly.
  • Don't Overproof the Dough: Keep an eye on the dough as it rises. Overproofing can result in a dense and crumbly bread.
  • Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to ensure the bread is cooked evenly.
