Hi Everyone,
Hope everyone is keeping busy. I decided to add a recipe for anyone who wants to make bread at home
you need
an oven , baking tray, cloth to cover the dough, pair of strong hands and a bowl and love to make your own bread.
Ingredients
- 7 g active dry yeast
- 300 g warm water
- 10g sugar
- 10g salt
- 10g oil or butter
- 500 g bread flour or strong flour
method
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast 5g sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on the surface. keep in a warm place
- mix together remaining sugar, salt, and bakers flour.
- Stir oil and warm water/yeast mixture add the flour to the water and knead to form a soft dough. if you feel it’s hard to knead the dough in one go mix for about 10 min and leave the dough to rest covered with a wet cloth or cling wrap.
- for the first time bread makers, this may look hard but resting your hand every 5-6 min will help
- Mix the dough for further 10 min until you see a smooth and elastic and clear surface.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface;
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in 2 greased 9×5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours in a warm place
- make sure preheat the oven to 200c
- Bake at 200c ° until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 95c °, 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool
- enjoy a slice hot with a blob of good butter
- please ask any questions if you need more information
