Directions
Continue mixing until dough starts cleaning sides of bowl. Cover with lid and run for 10 minutes. Oil hands and counter top (don't use flour). Form into loaves and put in to pans. Set in warm oven or on oven door. cover with thin, warm damp towel. Let it rise for 15-20 minutes. Turn oven to 350°, take off towel and bake for 45 minutes. Remove loaves from oven and brush tops lightly with oil. When almost cool place in plastic bags. This will help keep outside of bread soft.
