Homemade Bread Recipe

Ingredients
500g bread flour
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1 teaspoon salt
300ml hand-hot water
2 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 tablespoon sugar

1. Tip the flour into a bowl and mix in the yeast with the salt. Stir in the water, oil and sugar. Now bring together to make a soft dough – you can use your hands or a wooden spoon . Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

2. Don’t keep adding flour, a wet dough is better than a dry one, which will bake to a tough texture, so if you don’t like the dough sticking to your hands, lightly oil them. If you are adding flavourings, knead them in gently now.

3. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and bake your bread at 180°C/350°F for 30-35 mins or until the crust is golden brown. Cool.
