  • Knead the dough to work it. After transferring the dough to a lightly floured surface, work it by hand for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it becomes soft and flexible. One spoonful at a time, add extra flour if the dough seems too moist.

Starting off:

  • Shape the dough. Once the dough has risen, press out any remaining air bubbles. form the dough into a loaf or any desired form, then transfer it to an oiled loaf pan or a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

  • Once the dough has doubled in size, cover it with a towel and continue to let it rise for a further 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Prepare the bread. Before usage, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when you tap it, and the crust is a golden brown hue.
  • Cool and proceed to serve: Before slicing, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Savor the warm or room temperature fresh baked bread!

Suggestion:

  1. After the bread has done, brush the top with melted butter to soften the crust.
