Amish Bread

Place in bread machine pan in order given:

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot water
1/4 cup canola or other non-saturated oil
3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour (13 to 14 ounces)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast

Put through dough cycle; check that there is enough flour during first mix. When dough cycle is finished, put dough on floured surface. Let stand 15 minutes.

Knead 3 or 4 times (dough will be puffy, not punched down). Gently shape and put into greased 5 x 9-inch loaf pan (grease top if you like). Let rise 40 minutes to 1 hour (more or less depending on room temperature).

Bake in 350 to 375 degree F oven for 25 to 35 minutes.
