Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp lukewarm water
  • 2 tsp dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup lukewarm water or milk
  • 3 cups bread flour plus extra for shaping
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Pour the lukewarm water into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar, and mix to combine. Cover and let it loom for 5 to 10 minutes
  2. After the yeast has bloomed, add the rest of the ingredients
  3. Knead for 8 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    You can also do this by hand, if you do not have a mixer. Mix all the ingredients, then knead by hand until the dough is smooth. It could take you longer to achieve the result, depending on your skill level
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, then transfer into an oiled bowl. This is to prevent the dough from sticking to the bowl.
  5. Cover and place in a warm spot for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. The time needed for the dough to double in size, is dependent on how warm your kitchen is
  6. After the dough is risen, deflate and shape into a log
    Transfer unto a lined tray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour
  7. Towards the end of the rising period, Preheat your oven to 180°C
  8. Uncover the dough, and transfer into the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes
  9. Remove bread from the oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, before slicing
