How to bake bread
Baking your own bread is easy and oh-so-satisfying. This recipe for a classic loaf will leave your kitchen smelling divine and your belly happy!
Ingredients:
*500g high grade white flour, or white flour/wholemeal flour mix, plus extra flour, to knead
*1 teaspoon salt
*1 teaspoon sugar
*1 tablespoon reduced fat spread, suitable for baking
*1 sachet instant dry yeast
*300ml warm water
*oil spray, to grease, and for proving
*2 tablespoons trim milk
*2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, to sprinkle (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Sift flour into a bowl. Stir in salt and sugar. Rub in spread.
2. Sprinkle over yeast. Stir to spread through flour evenly.
3. Add water to flour. Use a spoon to stir and combine.
4. Mix together to form a soft, slightly sticky dough, then transfer to a lightly floured surface.
5. Knead for 5-7 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. Place in a warmed, lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel or lightly greased plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place to double in size. This will take 30-45 minutes.
6. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface - it should now feel quite springy. Punch down dough, then shape into a round or oval shape. Cover and leave to rise for 30 more minutes.
7. Slash the top of the loaf with a knife. Brush with a little milk. Sprinkle with seeds (if using). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Recipe Information:
Portions: makes 1 loaf (10 serves)
Time to make: 2 hours (depending on the warmth of your kitchen)
Total cost of all ingredients: $2.40 / $0.24 per serve
