Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and canola oil to the flour.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

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

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and cover again for 30 minutes to rise.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
