Sandwich bread

Makes one loaf.

Ingredients

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 320 g lukewarm water
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 11 g salt
• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (one 7 g packet)

Instructions

1. Stir dry ingredients together.
2. Mix in water and oil until a dough ball forms.
3. Knead by hand for 10 minutes, adding flour if it’s too sticky.
4. Place in a bowl. Cover and let rise for 60 to 90 minutes.
5. Gently deflate and shape into a log.
6. Place in a greased bread pan. Cover and let rise for 45 to 60 minutes.
7. Bake at 350 ºF for 40 minutes.

Notes

• Slice and freeze half the bread or whatever you won’t be able to finish in two days. Thawed bread still tastes good and makes great toast.
• If you make bread often, instead of buying individual packets of yeast, get SAF Red Instant Yeast and store in a jar in the freezer.
