This country white bread is wonderful for making sandwiches or French toast, and it's quite delicious even on its own.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/4 cup canola oil

6-1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, oil and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

2 Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3 Punch down dough. Divide in half and shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°.

4 Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
