In a small bowl, dissolve your yeast in ½ cup warm water.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine hot water, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of the flour and mix together. Add the yeast mixture to a bowl.
Add the remaining 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Let rise til double in size.
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half of dough in a 9×12 rectangle on a floured surface.
Roll the dough up like a jelly roll (long way). Place the dough on a greased baking pan (I use a cookie sheet), with the seam side down. I always put the two loaves on one pan.
Score the bread across the top 3 or 4 times, then let the dough rise uncovered for 20-30 minutes in a warm place. (I put it on the top of my stove with the oven on)
Bake at 400 for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Or you may bake at 350-375 convection for 18-20 minutes until golden. Brush the top with some butter on the top.
Makes Two Huge Loaves. Enjoy!!
