Home made White bread sans bread maker

Adapted from instruction book from A_quick_small_white_loaf and Basic white Bread.

Ingredients

  • 5ml fast acting, dried yeast
  • 400g Strong white flour
  • 5ml sugar
  • 15ml sunflower seed oil
  • 5ml salt
  • 300ml water (This looks like too much but during proving and baking, the bread will dry out).

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into Kenwood Chef - use a metal bowl if possible.
  2. Using the Dough Hook on minimum speed gradually add the water to a soft dough.
  3. Knead for 1 minute on minimum.
  4. Knead for 4 minutes on speed 1, until smooth and elastic. Remove the Kenwood Bowl, cover with lightly oiled clear film and leave to rise in 40°C oven 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Using the Dough Hook on minimum speed for 30-60 seconds gently knead the dough to knockback.
  6. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape to fit in bread tin - a smaller bread tin should be enough, 500 - 750g.
  7. Place back in proving oven and leave to rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before knocking out of tin.

A bread maker is such a civilised machine for doing this!
