Ingredients

5 cups (1.2 L) bread flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar
1 packet (0.25 oz./7 g) instant yeast (2¼ tsp/11 mL)
2 tsp (10 mL) salt
1½ cups (375 mL) warm water
2 tbsp (30 mL) oil

Directions

Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of the Deluxe Stand Mixer.
Add the water and oil and set to KNEAD for 8 minutes.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl and let it rise, covered for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into an 8" x 8" (20-cm x 20-cm) square. Roll the dough into a log and pinch the seams to seal.
Place the log, seam-side down, into a lightly oiled Fully Glazed Deep Covered Baker. Let it rise, covered with the lid, for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
While the loaf rises, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Once the loaf doubles in size, dust the top liberally with flour and cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the loaf.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
