Preparation

Step 1

Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix and knead — by hand, using a mixer, or in a bread machine set on the dough cycle — to make a smooth, soft dough.

Put the dough into a lightly greased bowl.
Cover and let it rise until doubled, about 60 to 75 minutes.

Gently deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Divide it in half.

Shape each half into a loaf, and place in lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pans.
Alternatively, shape half into a loaf, and the other into 12 to 16 rolls, which can be placed into two 8" round pans, or into a 9" x 13" pan.
Or, simply shape all of the dough into 24 to 32 rolls.

Cover the pan(s) and let the loaves/rolls rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until its crust is a deep golden brown, and a digital thermometer inserted into the center registers about 190°F.
Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out onto a rack to cool.
Store completely cool bread or rolls well-wrapped, at room temperature, for several days; freeze for longer storage.
