Easy Soft French Bread

Ingredients:
water, bottled, generic
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
sugars, granulated
salt, table
oil, olive, salad or cooking
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched

Directions:
Add sugar, warm water, then yeast into mixing bowl.
Let yeast prove.
Add rest of ingredients, kneading while adding flour one or two cups at a time.
Knead for 5 minutes.
Let the dough rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
Knead the dough down.
Split into two sections.
Using rolling pin, one at a time flatten each section into a large rectangle (about 17x 9).
Roll the dough up to make a long loaf.
Pinch the seam closed and turn the ends under.
Place the two loaves on separate large cookie sheets, seams down (I lay it diagonally), cover with a light dishtowel, and let rise another hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
