Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a loaf and place in greased bread pans.

Cover the loaves and let rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
