Jojo's Bread

I love this recipe from Jojo. It's simple and fast. I have the smaller Kitchen-Aid, so I just make half of this recipe which yields 2 loaves.

Mix on low in Kitchen-Aid:

Optional ingredients:
1/3 c. dough enhancer

Last add:

Mix for 6 minutes on high. Pour a few tablespoons of oil on counter-top. Take dough out of mixer and using the oil, form into 3 or 4 loaves. Place in sprayed pans. Let raise until doubled. Bake @ 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool on cooling rack. Can slice with electric knife and freeze.
