Directions: Add yeast to warm water (115 degrees F) and about 1 tsp of sugar and let sit for 5 minutes. Proof your yeast to make sure it is ok. Is so, it will bubble up.
Mix dry ingredients less about 1 cup flour, keep aside for kneading. Add yeast & water that was mixed, add oil. Knead dough until smooth. Add rest of flour while kneading to get a good bread dough consistency. Add more flour if needed
Lightly coat a bowl with oil and place kneaded dough in it and roll around so dough is coated with the oil..
Cover and place in a warm area and let rise to double size, about 40-60 minutes. Press gas out, and lightly knead dough to remove gas, cut in half and knead/roll it into 2 loafs. Place each loaf into greased bread pans. Cover and let rise again in a warm place til pan is filled. 45-60 min.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. Loaf should sound hollow when tapped and be lightly brown on top.
Note: You also can keep this as one large loaf and bake it as one.
