Description
A simple yet flavorful bread with a crisp crust and soft interior, perfect with butter, cheese, or soups.
Ingredients
Scale
- 350 ml water (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 8 grams dry yeast
- 25 ml sunflower oil
- 500 grams flour (plus extra for dusting)
Instructions
- Combine the water, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the sunflower oil to the yeast mixture, then sift in the flour while stirring to form a sticky dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 60 minutes.
- Stir the dough gently to release air, cover again, and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 230°C (446°F).
- Bake the loaf on a lined baking tray for 30-40 minutes until golden brown, tapping the bottom for a hollow sound.
Notes
Store bread in a paper bag or kitchen towel at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze sliced bread in an airtight container.
