White Bread Loaf

Now I don't know about you guys, but when it gets to around about this time of year I just can't resist a freshly baked loaf.

I got this recipe from the back of the Allinson yeast packet.

Ingredients

650g Strong white bread flour

10g (2 tsp) Salt

5g (1 tsp) Sugar

15g Soft Butter or 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

7g Sachet of yeast

400ml Warm water

Step 1

Mix together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl.

Step 2

Rub butter in or stir in the vegetable oil.

Step 3

Add warm water and mix to form a dough. Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place into your loaf tins.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 230 Degrees Celsius/450 Fahrenheit/ Gas Mark 8  (I did mine at about 190 Degrees Celsius in fan oven).

Step 6

Cover dough with cling film or a damp tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until it doubles in size (I left mine in my airing cupboard!) Until it looks something like this.

Step 7

Put in the oven for around 30 minutes (i did mine for 20 minutes). Leave to cool on a wire rack.
