Homemade Bread

This is my mother-in-law's recipe for homemade bread. I can never get it to turn out as well as she makes it but it still is pretty good!

2-3 T yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 T sugar to go faster
Let this site for 10-15 minutes

5 c very warm water
2 T salt ( I use 1 1/2 T)
1/2 (2/3) c oil
2/3 c sugar
12 c flour

Mix with yeast and 1/2 cup flour. Knead for 10 minutes then add remaining flour. (I usually add about half the flour then a little at a time) Remove from bowl and divide into 4 large loaves Mold dough into shape place in greased pans Let raise about 30 minutes or till double in size.
Bake about 45 min 350 Remove from oven and pans and put butter on tops and cool on cooling rack.
