🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

Heat 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of water in the microwave for about 30 seconds until barely room temperature.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the warm milk and water mixture.

Add 2 teaspoons of instant yeast to the mixture and stir to combine.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mixture and stir again.

Let the mixture sit for a minute until it looks frothy.

In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of bread flour and 2 teaspoons of salt.

Whisk the flour and salt together until combined.

After the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.

Gradually add up to 6 cups of flour, starting with 2 cups already added, and mix with a wooden spoon as it thickens.

Once the dough starts coming together, switch to using your hands to knead it in the bowl.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it feels elastic and smooth.

Shape the kneaded dough into a loose ball and cover it with the mixing bowl to let it rest for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, press the dough down gently to release bubbles and divide it in half.

Shape each half into a loose rectangle and roll it up tightly, tucking the ends underneath.

Place each shaped loaf into a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaves with a towel and let them rise in a warm place (like an off microwave) for about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

After 45 minutes, check the loaves; they should be puffy and filled out in the pans.

Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the loaves from the oven and shake them out of their tins onto a cooling rack.

Let the bread cool before slicing.
