Ingredients

500 gStrong White Flour or
500 gWhite Spelt Flour
1 tspQuick Yeast
1 tspSugar
300 mlWater
1 tbspVegetable Oil
½ tspSalt

Method

  1. In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, quick yeast and sugar.
  2. Carefully measure the water and roughly mix it into the flour.
  3. While the dough is still lumpy add the oil and knead well until it feels smooth and pliable.
  4. Leave the dough in a bowl covered with a tea towel, in a draught free place, for the dough to double in size (This should take about an hour). To make a quick bread omit this stage and proceed straight to step 6.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough firmly for several minutes.
  6. Shape the dough and put it into an oiled 1kg/2lb bread tin or place it on an oiled baking sheet.
  7. Cover & leave dough to rise for about 25 minutes in a warm place.
  8. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 35/40 minutes.

Absolutely delicious, I really think the difference is the Doves Farm flour I used. I now cook bread as part of my daily routine. I get back from work and get kneading - it makes the stress evaporate. Nothing better than melting butter onto a freshly cooked loaf! Delicious.

Just started making bread, so a new venture and have been using Doves Farm flours and recipes. Love this organic white flour it makes a great loaf. We no longer purchase mass produced bread. Still learning but am enjoying the experience and the Doves Farm products. Sunday is now bread making day!
