This is one of the white bread recipes I’ve used for years:

Amish White Bread

2-1/2 cups warm water
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1-1/2 T. granulated yeast
1 heaping teaspoon salt
1/4 c. oil
6 – 7 cups white flour

Stir granulated sugar into warm water til dissolved. Add yeast. Let sit 5 minutes. Add salt and oil. Stir in 3 cups of flour. Continue adding flour 1 cup and then 1/2 cup at a time til dough is no longer too sticky to work with. Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as needed. You want the dough to be just a tad sticky but don’t let it get too dry (by adding too much flour).

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

Turn dough onto floured surface, knead a couple of minutes. Shape into 2 loaves. Place in greased loaf pans. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise about 30 minutes or til the dough is about 1″ above the sides of the pan.

Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes.

Try adding some herbs, cheeses, sun dried tomatoes, etc. before the final kneading.   Yummy!
