Put warm water in large mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast on top then sprinkle sugar on top of yeast and water. Let stand for 10 min. Add oil, salt, and flour. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic like. (Sometimes I need to add some more flour to get my dough the right consistency) Let rise 1 hour, punch down and put in bread pans greased with BUTTER.
