Equipment:
1kg/2lb bread tin and 2 x mixing bowls

- Rub some oil around the inside of a 1kg/2lb bread tin.
- Put the flour, yeast and sugar into a large bowl and blend them together.
- Pour in the water, and stir until everything looks craggy and lumpy then stir in the salt.
- Stir in the oil.
- Using your hands, gather everything together into a doughy mass.
- Knead the dough in the bowl, or on a work surface, for 100 presses. Avoid adding flour.
- Invert a large bowl over the dough bowl and leave it in a warm place for the dough to double in size, which will take about an hour.
- Knead the dough for another 100 presses.
- Shape the dough and put it into the prepared tin.
- Invert the large bowl over the tin and leave it to rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven 20 minutes before you are going to bake.

Love recipe. Also cooks well in the air over (the one with shelves) 15 minutes on 175c after that take out of the tin. Turn upside down and cook again on 175c for 5 minutes . Or if you want it with a softer crust wrap it in a clean muslin or teacloth.

I have tried many recipes, the Internet is full of them and most do not work. This produces a lovely white sandwich bread. Its the best recipe I have found and now my standard recipe. Well done Dove!

This makes amazing bread. We didn't wait for it to cool, even had to hold it with oven-gloves to cut it in order to start eating it! My first-ever tin-loaf of bread, and it's everything I could have wished for in homemade bread: better, even. Try it!
