It looks like you're making homemade bread! Here's a breakdown of the preparation steps:

#### Ingredients:

- 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

- 2/3 cup white sugar

- 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast

- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 6 cups bread flour

#### Preparation:

1. **Activate the Yeast:**

   - In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and sugar mixture. Allow it to sit until the yeast becomes foamy and resembles a creamy foam. This process is called proofing and typically takes about 5-10 minutes.

2. **Mix and Knead:**

   - Once the yeast is activated, mix in the salt and vegetable oil. Gradually add the bread flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms.

   - Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it until smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

3. **First Rise:**

   - Place the kneaded dough in a well-oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

4. **Shape and Second Rise:**

   - After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air bubbles. Knead it for a few more minutes, then divide the dough in half.

   - Shape each half into loaves and place them into two well-oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow the dough to rise for a second time until it rises about 1 inch above the pans, about 30 minutes.

5. **Bake:**

   - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

   - Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

6. **Enjoy your freshly baked homemade bread!**

Slice and serve the bread warm with butter or your favorite spreads. Enjoy the wonderful aroma and taste of freshly baked bread!
