2 cups warm water
6 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups flour
Directions
Run your faucet on hot until the water reaches a warm temperature. Then in a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in two cups of water. Make sure the water is not so hot that it will burn your hand. Add the yeast, stir, and then set a timer for five minutes. After this time, the yeast should activate and create a foam in the mixture.
Add the flour to the yeast, one cup at a time, mixing with a fork or spoon. Also add in the oil. Knead the dough and set a timer for 15 minutes. After 15 more minutes, add some salt and then knead the dough again.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Knead the dough once more once the oven is preheated. Grease a cooking pan or cookie sheet. Place the dough on the sheet or in the pan and cook for 50 minutes.
