Bread In A Bag - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 envelope fleischmann's fast rising yeast
    3 tablespoons sugar
    3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup water
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation
    Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, dry milk, and salt in a 1-gallon, heavy duty freezer bag with zipper-lock.
    Squeeze upper part of bag to force out air.
    Shake and work bag with fingers to blend ingredients.
    Heat water and vegetable oil until very warm (120 F to 130 F); add to flour mixture.
    Reseal bag; mix thoroughly by working bag with fingers.
    Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a stiff batter that pulls away from the bag.
    Remove dough from bag; 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 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
    Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    Bake at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done.
    Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
