2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast (or 1 packet)
3 cups flour (bread, white or wheat)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable/canola/olive)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Mix water, sugar and yeast together in a cup and cover with a cloth. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and ensure you see froth rising on the top.
Once you've ensured yeast activated, mix the cup of water with the rest of the ingredients in a mixer with dough hook attachment, mix until dough forms.
Place dough on a floured surface and fold a few times into a nice neat round dough ball. Place in a bowl and cover with dish towel, allow to rise for 1 hour. It should double in bulk.
Once dough has doubled in size, separate it into 3 14" ropes - do this by rolling it on a floured surface until desired length. Braid the ropes together and place in a loaf pan, tucking any leftover edges underneath.
Cover loaf pan with dish towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
Bake bread at 375* for 25 minutes.
