Really Good Sandwich Bread

2 cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 T active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups flour
2 T Vital Wheat Gluten
Dissolve sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast (I just sprinkle it on top). Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two well oiled 9' loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans. Bake at 350 for 30 min.
