Mom's Delicious Homemade Bread

This is my mom's recipe. It is so good, very light and fluffy with a crispy crust on the bottom. Very simple too. Can be used to make rolls, or loaves. You can easily double it. You can also add 1c. Raisins and/or slivered almonds,orange/lemon zest and vanilla extract to a loaf for a festive holiday bread. The options are endless!!

Steps

Combine warm water , yeast , oil and honey in a large bowl , let sit for 5 minutes then add the salt and egg.
Stir all together.
Add the flour one cup at a time , stirring together after each cup.
Around the 5th cup your dough will begin to come together pulling away from the sides of the bowl and forming a ball.
Empty the dough onto a clean , floured surface and begin kneading the dough adding a little more flour as it becomes sticky.
It should be slightly sticky.
Knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth , firm and elastic.
Set aside to rise until double.
Divide dough into 2 loaves or 1 loaf and 12 rolls or all rolls if you like.
Place in well greased loaf pan or rolls on a greased cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 375f.
Set aside to rise until almost double once more.
Bake loaves for 25-30 minutes , or rolls for 15 minutes.
They should be golden brown on top and bottom when done.
