Sweet Amish White Bread

I've made this recipe several times now and the loaf never hangs around for long.  The sweetness of the bread is subtle, but is enough to curve a sweet tooth craving.  (Especially if you add nutella!! MMmmmm!)  If you don't own a bread maker or kitchen aid, no worries.  This can be done completely by hand!

INGREDIENTS:
1 C warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/3 C white sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 tsp salt
2 TBSP veg or olive oil
3 C bread flour

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and then stir in the yeast.  Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.  About 10 minutes.  Mix salt and oil into the yeast.  Mix in flour one cup at a time.  Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.  Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat.  Cover with a damp cloth.  Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.  Punch dough down.  Knead for a few minutes.  Shape dough into a loaf and place into a well oiled 9X5 in loaf pan.  Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch about the pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
