Easy Homemade Bread

Have failed at many bread recipes lately, so I'm so happy now to share this easy recipe from DIY Home Sweet Home.  I divided their recipe in half to make one loaf of bread. Here's my adaptation below.

Mix together:
2.5 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tbs salt

Heat:
1 1/2 cups milk

Add to milk:
1/8 cup sugar
1 tbs yeast

Mix and let set for 5 minutes to dissolve yeast.

Add milk mixture to flour then add 1 egg and 1/8 cup oil.

Add more flour (3 cups) one by one and mix along the way.

Knead, adding a bit of flour to hands a few times to keep things un-sticky.

Let rise 1 1/2 hrs then punch down.

Place in an oiled loaf pans. 

Let dough rise for another 1 1/2 hrs.
Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until done.

Butter top.

Cool slightly then remove from pans.
