Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve the yeast in ¼ cup of warm water in a mixing bowl.

Add all the other ingredients, except the flour and beat until smooth.

Gradually mix in enough flour to form a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 6-8 minutes. Work in extra flour if needed.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it to bring up the oiled side.

Cover lightly with a clean towel and let rise about an hour.

Punch the dough down and shape it into a loaf.

Put it in a greased loaf pan and cover it with the towel again.

Let it rise until double in size, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
