Basic Bread Recipe
2 tblsp dried yeast
2 tblsp sugar or honey
625ml lukewarm water
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tblsp salt
extra flour for dusting
Dissolve the yeast and sugar or honey in half of the water.
In a large bowl combine the flour and salt and make a well in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and bring in the flour until all the yeast mixture is soaked up.
Add the rest of the water, combining it all together until you have a nice moist dough.
Knead for aroung forty minutes, roll into a roundish shape, and score deeply. Place on a well floured baking tray and cover with a slightly damp dish cloth.
Prove for 40 mins or until doubled in size.
Knead again just to knock the air out of it, knock into desired shape and prove again. Proving a second time gives an amazing texture to the bread!
Bake in oven preheated to 200f/400c and bake for twenty minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Enjoy!!
