My brother decided to bake that today was a good day to bake bread. The recipe he chose was the Amish White Bread. I have no idea what makes it Amish. I just know that while the bread was baking in the oven, the house smelled amazing. The bread is nice and soft. It still has a crust, but even that is quite soft. Like any other bread, it is best eaten while it's still warm.
According to the recipe he pulled up from allrecipes.com, you will need the following to make this bread:
2 cups warm water
2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour
The only thing my brother changed was the bread flour. We didn't have bread flour in the house, so he used all purpose flour instead. Assuming he followed the recipe exactly, he
1. Dissolved sugar in warm water then stirred in the yeast. He allowed this to form a creamy foam.
2. He added the salt and oil to the yeast, and added one cup of flour at the time.
3. He kneaded the dough on a floured surface until smooth. He then placed it in a well oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it, and covered it with a damp cloth.
4. He allowed it to stand for 1 hour.
5. After allowing to stand, he punched the dough and kneaded it for a few minutes. He divided it into 2, shaped the loaves and allowed them to rise for 30minutes.
6. He baked both loaves in a 350F or 175C oven for 30minutes.

The recipe says that that you should used a 9x5 inch loaf tin, but my brother simply shaped the loaves into spheres and popped them in the oven. He also recommend using your hands to mix everything.
