 Amber's Kitchen White Bread 3/4 Cup Cane sugar  3 cups warm water (baby bottle temperature) 1 1/2 Tablespoon active dry yeast  1/3 cup coconut oil, melted  1 egg, beaten 1 Tablespoon salt 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 cups bread flour (I often sub for Kamut flour, in which case I decrease the amount of flour to about 7 cups) DIRECTIONS:  Combine sugar, warm water, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. (Or a Bosch mixer is perfect for this recipe)  Let stand for 10 minutes while the yeast proofs and dissolves.  Add oil, egg, and salt into yeast mixture. Mix to combine.   Add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well and kneading well in between. Don’t add all the flour at once, especially towards the end. How much flour you need depends on lots of variables- you don’t want dough that’s too dry. It needs to be elastic and slightly sticky, but not so wet that it leaves moisture at the side of the bowl. Knead for 5 min by hand or 2-3 minutes in a mixer. 6. Cover t...
