Source TESCO Dried Yeast Packet

Ingredients

  • 500g Strong white bread flour
  • 1tsp fine salt
  • ~7g dried yeast
  • 1tbsp caster sugar
  • 25ml vegetable oil
  • 300ml warm water

Recipe

  1. Combine the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in a lage bowl.

  2. Gradually add the oil and water to the flour, mixing until you have a soft dough.

  3. Knead the dough on a greased surface for about 10 minutes until it's elastic and smooth.

  4. Place in a large greased bowl, cover with cling film and leave it to rise for 1 hour.

  5. Knead the dough again for 5 minutes, then shape into a log and place in a greased 900g load tin (approx. 22 x 11cm)

  6. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.

  7. Pre-heat oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.

  8. Uncover and score a line down the centre of the dough with a sharp knife, then bake for 30-35mins. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the base.

  9. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
