1️⃣ In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on the surface. 🍶

2️⃣ Whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 3 cups flour in another bowl. 🍚

3️⃣ Stir oil into the yeast mixture; pour into the flour mixture and beat until smooth. 🥣

4️⃣ Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Mix well until dough is smooth and elastic. 🌾

5️⃣ Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. 💪

6️⃣ Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. ⏳

7️⃣ Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9×5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes. 📏

8️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. 🔥
