Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Stir until combined.

Add Remaining Flour:
Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together.

Knead the Dough:
Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Loaf:
Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Second Rise:
Cover again and let rise for 30–40 minutes, or until it rises just above the rim of the pan.

Bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool:
Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
