Farmhouse white bread<br />
(Makes two loaves)<br />
You’ll need:<br />
5 cups bread flour; 10g instant yeast; 2 tsp<br />
salt; 3 tsp sugar; 1 Tblsp extra virgin olive oil; 2<br />
cups lukewarm water<br />
Method:<br />
Place all the dry ingredients in the bowl of an<br />
electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and<br />
begin mixing on low speed.<br />
Add the oil to the warm water and slowly<br />
add to the flour mixture until well combined.<br />
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on<br />
low speed until the dough is smooth, elastic<br />
and not sticky to the touch. Place dough in a<br />
clean, lightly oiled bowl, loosely covered with<br />
a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place<br />
for about an hour or until the dough has<br />
doubled in size.<br />
Using your fist, punch down the dough to<br />
expel the air. Lightly knead by hand for a<br />
minute or two until the dough is smooth<br />
again. Divide the dough equally in two.<br />
Shape each half into a log and place into two<br />
lightly greased loaf tins. Once again, cover<br />
with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30<br />
– 40 minutes until doubled in size.<br />
Preheat the oven to 180°C.<br />
Lightly brush loaves with egg wash (one egg<br />
whisked with a dash of milk and a pinch of<br />
salt) and place in preheated oven for 40-50<br />
minutes or until beautifully risen, golden<br />
and sounds hollow when gently tapped<br />
underneath. Remove from tin and allow to<br />
cool on a wire rack.<br />
