In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour ½ cup at a time to form a soft dough.

Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic 8-10 minutes, or use mixing bowl with dough hook. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1½ hours.
