SERVINGS
2 loaves
INGREDIENTS
675g flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil or alternative
oil
440g water (warm)
1-2 tbsp sugar
10g instant yeast
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix flour, sugar and yeast
together.
2. Add salt, oil and water and mix
well with a wooden spoon.
3. If you're kneading by hand it will
take between 8-14 minutes
(depending on your strength). If
you are using a stand mixer, mix at
low speed for 3 minutes and then
fast speed for the last 5 minutes.
You can always do the
windowpane test if you're not sure
if the dough is ready or not.
4. Take the dough out of the bowl and
shape it into a ball. Put it into an oiled
bowl and spread a little oil on top (to
prevent it from going dry). Let it sit for
45-50 minutes.
5. Gently punch the air out of the
dough and divide it into 2 balls. Shape
each ball into a long sausage and add
them to separate oiled bread tins. Let
them rest for another 45-50 minutes.
6. Once done resting - glaze with a mix
of milk and oil and add your favourite
seeds on top of the doughs (I used
sesame and poppy seeds).
7. Bake them for 40-45 minutes at
190°C.
