In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Stir in yeast and let sit until foamy (about 5–10 minutes).

Add salt, oil, and 3 cups of flour. Mix until smooth.

Gradually add more flour, ½ cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (1 to 1.5 hours).

Punch down dough, shape into 2 loaves, and place in greased 9×5-inch pans.

Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!
