Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Step 1: In a gallon-sized heavy-duty zip-top bag, combine 1 cup of flour, the sugar, the yeast, and the warm water.
Step 2: Squeeze the air out of the bag, seal it, and squish the ingredients together until well blended. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Open the bag and add the vegetable oil, the salt, and another cup of flour. Seal and squish again until smooth.
Step 4: Add the final cup of flour and continue to knead the dough inside the bag for about 5-7 minutes until it pulls away from the plastic.
Step 5: Remove the dough from the bag, place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes.
Step 6: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast. You can substitute honey for sugar if preferred.
