Ingredients
- 500g strong white flour
- 1¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp fast action/easy blend yeast or 1 sachet of dried yeast
- 1½ tsp granulated sugar
- 300ml water
Instructions
- Place the flour in a large bowl then
add the salt, yeast and sugar. Add
the water and use your hands to
mix together until a smooth dough
is formed. When it comes away from
the bowl and onto your hands easily,
transfer to a lightly floured surface and
knead until smooth. (Stretch the bread
away from you with one hand whilst
holding it with the other. Bring it back
towards you and repeat until smooth
and pliable without adding any extra
flour. This should take 5-10 minutes.)
- Return the dough to the bowl, cover
and leave to prove in a warm place
for 30-40 minutes or until it has
doubled in size. Return the dough
to a floured surface and knead and
shape your loaf.
- Place the bread on a baking tray or into
a loaf tin and leave to prove in a warm
place to double in size again before
placing into a preheated oven set at
220°C/425°F for about 30-40 minutes.
When ready, it will be golden on top
and will sound hollow when tapped
underneath.
