In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Knead by hand or stand mixer until dough forms a smooth elastic ball. If dough is too sticky, gradually work in a few tablespoons of flour.
Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest at least 1 hour. The dough should be puffy, and almost doubled in size.
Lightly grease an 8 ½" x 4 ½” loaf pan.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Press dough into a rectangle and roll into a loaf shape. Place dough in the pan; cover and let it rest for about 1 hour until it rises about 1” above the rim.
Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake the bread for 35 minutes, or golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
