RECIPE FOR 90 MINUTE BREAD

4 cups warm water
4 packages yeast
4 teaspoons salt
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
7 to 8 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Mix in remaining ingredients until dough is soft, but not sticky. Use all whole wheat flour, all white, or mixture as desired. Whole-wheat pastry flour is the most silky and desirable for all baking purposes. When dough is soft and leaves sides of bowl, cut into 4 pieces. Let stand 15 minutes.

Pound each piece of dough for 1 minute with rolling pin on a lightly floured board. Form into loaves and put into 4 greased loaf pans. Let stand 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool rack before removing loaves from pans.
