Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g strong white bread flour
  • 10 g salt fine
  • 30 g Olive oil or 30ml
  • 7 g yeast dried, fast action
  • 325 ml water luke warm

Instructions
 

  • Into the mixer bowl add the 325g of just warm water.
  • Add the salt and the oil to the water followed by the bread flour.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over the flour.
  • Using the dough hook, mix on the lowest speed until a dough is formed then turn up the speed to no.1 and let the mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Tip the dough out and shape into a ball. Lightly oil the mixer bowl and putthe dough back, cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm draught free place to rise for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Take the loaf tin you will be using and lightly butter the inside and then coat with flour, turning the tin upside down and tap to remove the excess.
  • When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a very lightly floured surface and knead gently to knock it back, this will give the finished bread a lovely texture.
  • Shape the dough, place intothe tin, cover with the damptea towel and leave to rise again for about an hour to an hour and a half until doubled in size.
  • Dust the risen loaf with a little flour.
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/Fan 220°C/Gas 9.
  • When ready pour some boiling water into the lower tray and bake your bread just below the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the tin once cooked and cool on a wire rack.
