French Bread

My Mom's recipe

2 1/2 c. warm water
2 Tbsp. dry yeast
3 Tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. oil
6 1/2 c. flour

Combine the warm water and the yeast, let sit until you see some bubbles. Add the sugar, salt and oil. Add the flour, mixing constantly, about 1 cup at a time. Cover and mix every 10 minutes for an hour. Form into two loaves and place on a baking sheet. Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake at 400* for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and rub a stick of butter over the top of the loaf.
