Vegan White Bread

2 ½ to 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoon Instant Yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Heat water and vegetable oil until very warm (120o to 130oF); add to flour mixture. Mix thoroughly by working with fingers. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a stiff batter that pulls away from the bowl. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Roll dough to 12 x 7 inch rectangle. Beginning from short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place in greased 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Bake at 375oF for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

If using dry active yeast, dissolve in the warm water first, and let it sit until frothy. Instant yeast can just be added to dry ingredients tho.
