Original Recipe Yield 32 servings

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees), divided
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup rye or whole wheat flour
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of water. Add sugar, oil, salt, rye or whole wheat flour, 3 cups all-purpose flour, and remaining water; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half. On a greased baking sheet, flatten each half to 1-in. thickness. Pierce each loaf several times with a fork. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
