• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup warm water

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 TBSP yeast

1/3 cup canola oil

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 to 3 1/2 cups flour

1 egg whisked with 1 TBSP water (to brush on top)

Directions

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast; let stand for 5 minutes.

Add the canola oil, egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes.

Form dough into a smooth ball. Keeping the dough in the bowl, spray with non-stick spray and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Punch down dough. Knead for 1 minute.

Form loaf by rolling ball into an oblong shape then tucking and pinching the ends under the loaf.

Place loaf in a bread pan. Brush thoroughly with egg mixture.

Let loaf sit while oven is preheating to 400 degrees F, or about 10 minutes. It bakes at a higher temp than other bread recipes. Make sure your oven rack is on a lower setting so that the top doesn't burn!

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until outside is golden brown and internal temperature of loaf registers 195-200 degrees.

Let cool. Slice & enjoy with butter!
