- 3 TBS Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Oil Oliv Oil preferably, but any will work!

Proofing the yeast
- Mix the hot water, yeast, and the sugar together in a bowl, or your bread machine and let sit for 5-10 mins or until the yeast is activated and frothy.
Mixing The bread
- If using a bread machine add remaining ingredients and set your machine for the basic white bread setting of your choice and let run.
If using the oven and bread pan, preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- If using an oven, add 2 cups of the flour to the activated yeast mixture, and mix well.
- Then add the salt, and remaining cup of flour and mix until ball forms, if the dough is to sticky add in 1/4 cup of flour at a time until it is not sticky.

If you are using a bread machine, once yeast is activated, add other ingredients and let your machine run on its basic white bread setting.
