Easy Bread Loaf
Since I started baking bread, I just cannot stop. I love it. But just like with my style of cooking, I can't just make the same bread every day, I need variety, so I'm continuously trying new recipes.
This recipe is quick for bread making and it's really easy to make. You just mix the ingredients together, let it rise for an hour. Tip it out onto an oiled bench, fold it and press/squish it down a few times. Pop it in a loaf tin, let it rise for 30 minutes and bake it.
You can add 1/4-1/3 cup of seeds like sunflower seeds, pepitas etc in when you add the flour if you like.
Here is a video of the original recipe, she shows how easy this is to make. Now I will not bake bread in cup measurements as I like more accuracy, so I have written an adjusted recipe with gram measurements that I use based on this video.
If you are looking for a simple yet delicious bread recipe, this one is perfect for beginners and regular bread makers.

Makes 1 loaf
380g warm water
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
450g bread flour
10g salt
olive oil, for drizzling
In a bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar. Add flour and salt. Give it a good mix.
Let the mixture rest in a warm place, covered with a tea towel, for 1 hour.
After the resting time, oil your bench lightly, about 2-3 tablespoons and let the dough fall out of the bowl onto the oil. Rub a little oil on your hands, it will stop the dough sticking to them. Now, you need to gently knead the dough. How I do this is I fold the dough, in half 3 times, then press it down, pushing it out, fold it two more times, press it down, fold it two more times and your dough should now be smooth, don't press it down on the last fold. If you need to repeat the folds one more time do so.

Place the dough in a large loaf tin, cover it up with a tea towel, and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Once the dough has risen, pop it in the oven and bake for around 40 minutes.

Take the bread out of the oven when it’s beautifully golden brown. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes, and then it’s time to slice and serve.
Enjoy!
