Proof the Yeast: Mix active dry yeast, warm water and a pinch of sugar in a bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Combine Dry Ingredients: Once yeast is frothy, add sugar, salt, oil, and flour. Mix until cohesive dough forms.

Knead the Dough: Knead dough for 4-5 minutes on medium speed, or by hand for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise: Grease a bowl, place dough inside, cover and let rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Shape the Bread: Punch down dough, divide into logs, place in greased loaf pans and rise for 45-60 minutes.

Bake the Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F, bake for 30-33 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool Down: Let the loaves cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
