French Bread

2 c. Warm water
1 pkg. yeast--1 tbsp.
1/4 c. Sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. oil
4 to 5 c. Flour
Mix yeast, sugar, water.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Add salt, oil.  Add 4 c. Flour gradually.  Add more flour until it no longer sticks to the side of bowl in stand mixer (it takes most of the 5 c. For me)  Let rise 30-40 minutes.
Shape into 2 long loaves.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Slash top of loaf 3 to 4 times with knife.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
This is very easy and very yummy.
