2 tablespoons white sugar
2 1/4 tsp active yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place the water, sugar and yeast bread maker.
Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes.
Add the oil, flour and salt.
Select Basic or White Bread setting for 2lb loaf, and press Start.

Comment:
I like to add a little italian spice before the kneading is done.
Fast active yeast seems to make the bread less dense, nice and fluffy like store bought bread.
