Quick & Easy White Bread

Baking a simple loaf can be incredibly easy and once you have tried it, you'll find yourself wanting homemade bread more often. This is a simple, basic loaf of bread.

1 Loaf

Ingredients:

500gr flour

10gr instant yeast

2 tsp salt

3 tbsp olive oil

300ml warm water

Instructions:

Combine the flour, yeast & salt in a large bowl. Mix well before slowly adding the olive oil & warm water. Sprinkle a generous layer of flour on your counter & knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding a further sprinkle of flour if the dough begins to stick to the counter.

Place in a bowl, cover with cling film & allow to prove for 1 hour.

Remove the cling film & lightly punch the ball of dough.

Re-shape into a round form, score an X on the top & lightly dust with flour.

Place in a pre-heated oven at 200c (220c for ovens that are not fan assisted) for 25 minutes.

You will know it is cooked if you knock on the base of the bread & hear a hollow sound.
