I got this from a bread class that I went to at Sister Durda's house. I finally got around to making it and it turned out really good and I was so proud of myself for making bread from scratch without using the breadmaker and it was all fancy-shmancy. I love that it is a loaf of bread that is braided. We had it with soup and just pulled it apart. Chris was so impressed with me when he came home from school that not only did I make bread all by myself but that is was braided.
4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons yeast
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup oil
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
Mix all - knead several minutes. Let rise in greased bowl, covered 1 1/2 hours until doubled. Divide into 6 balls. Cover and let rest 10 mins. Roll each to a 16" rope. Put on greased baking sheet 1" apart. Braid each from center to ends. Pinch ends and tuck under. Let rise again 45 minutes. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
