Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix and knead to make a smooth dough. Dough will be slightly sticky.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise for about 1 hour or until the dough is doubled in volume.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly greased surface, shape into a log and place it in a 8½"x4½" loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 1 hour or until it crests about 1" over the rim of the pan.

Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake the bread for 35~40 minutes or until the interior registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.

Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.
