Homemade Bread
There’s nothing quite like the smell and taste of freshly baked homemade bread. Try mixing in a new herb or spice you’ve never tried before for your own signature loaf.
Ingredients
- 500g (4 cups) High-grade Flour
- 20g (5 tsps) Sugar
- 24g (8.5 tsps) Mrs Rogers Instant Dry Yeast
- 5g (¾ tsp) Salt
- 220ml-250ml ( 1 cup) Warm Water
- Optional; 50ml (3 Tbsps) Olive Oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Measure 220ml of warm water and add Mrs Rogers Instant Dry Yeast and Sugar. Mix well and allow it to start to bubble.
- Place Flour and Salt into a mixing bowl, then add in the yeast mixture.
- Knead dough until it is smooth and stretchy. If you have an electric mixer use a dough hook and run on a low speed for 4-5 minutes. If the dough is dry and not soft add another 30ml of water.
- Cover dough and keep in a warm place until it doubles in size.TIP: You can brush or roll the dough with a little olive oil to prevent drying out.
- Once the dough has risen to double its original size, knock it back (punch down the risen dough), then roll into desired shape/s and allow to double in size again.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until a golden crust forms. Allow bread to cool on a rack before slicing.
