WHITE BREAD

Ingredients:

 

360g all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp. instant yeast

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 cup lukewarm water

20g butter

2 tsp. vanilla essence

 

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Add the lukewarm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for about an hour, until it doubles in size.

Preheat the oven to 180 to 190 degrees Celsius.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or buns.

Place the loaf or buns onto a greased baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.

Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Use a sharp knife to make a few shallow cuts on the top of the loaf (optional)

Bake the bread for 30-40 minutes, until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
