Place warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Stir and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to proof. You will know it is ready when it starts to form a cream foam.
Add oil, half of the flour {2 1/4 cups} and salt. Start to mix using a dough hook {or by hand}. Add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Then using the dough hook {or on a floured surface, if mixing by hand} knead the dough for 4-5 minutes.
Cover the dough in the bowl with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
Divide the dough in half and place each half into a loaf pan that has been generously sprayed with non-stick spray.
Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown {you can also tap on the top of the loaf and if it sounds hollow then it is done}.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes. Turn loaves of bread out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cut bread into 1/2 inch slices. Use for sandwiches or toast. Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Store: Store the easy bread recipe in a nice airtight container or zipper bag at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freeze: This bread freezes wonderfully for up to 3 months. Be sure it is wrapped tightly in plastic wrap before storing.
