Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 package (0.25oz) Platinum Yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup warm water (120-130?F, not too hot to touch)
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Loaf pan
  • Paddle attachment
  • dough hook

Method
 

  1. In stand mixer bowl, add 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add warm water and oil to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  2. Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough has doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
  4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat into a 14?7-inch rectangle. Start with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9?5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching, about 30-45 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375?F.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes until crust is a golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack before slicing.
