Ingredients

  • 7g sachet dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in tepid water. Leave for 10 minutes.
  • Place flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add oil, yeast mixture, and 1 cup of tepid water to the well. Mix until firm.
  • Knead for 10-15 minutes. Place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and leave covered with a cloth for 1-1.5 hours. Dough should double in size.
  • Punch the dough down to expel air. Knead for another 2 minutes.
  • Place roll-sized peices on a greased tray, or in a grease loaf tin.
  • Cover and leave for 45-60 minutes. Dough should double in size.
  • Slash the tops of rolls/loaf with a sharp knife. Place in a preheated 200oC oven for 20 minutes for rolls or 40 minutes for loaf (or until done!).
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack. (For a loaf, remove in from the tin and bake for another 5 minutes to crispen the edges.
