Instructions
Mix water with yeast, 1 cup flour, and sugar. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Add salt to the rest of the flour, and then add it to the above mixture.
Knead and add oil throughout the kneading.
Keep on kneading until you get a soft dough and that might take up to 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with wet cloth and let it rise for one and half hour to two hours.
Punch the dough and knead for one minute. Form a 9-inch log and place in a Greased 9x6 loaf pan. Cover the dough and allow it to rise again for 40 minutes.
When the dough has risen, you can brush it with egg wash or milk, and then place it in a preheated oven of 350F/180C. Bake the bread for 15 to 20 minutes.
When the plain bread is baked, take it out of the oven and cover with damp a cloth or kitchen towel to keep it moist.
