HOMEMADE BREAD RECIPES: Basic White Bread Recipe

1 teaspoon sugar

2 cups warm water (110°C)

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon melted butter

6 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon salt

Method:

Heat oven to 230°C (450°F). Prepare yeast mixture by taking a large bowl and dissolving the sugar in the water and sprinkling the yeast on top. Leave for 10 minutes until frothy. Add the butter to the yeast mixture and then add the flour and salt. Work the dough until the sides of the bowl are clean. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and springy.

Cover with a greased piece of cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until double in size. Remove cling film and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knock out air bubbles and knead to a firm, elastic dough. Divide dough into two and place in two well-greased loaf tins. Cover with more greased cling film and leave to rise again in a warm place until dough reaches the tops of the tins. Remove plastic film, and bake in a hot oven for 30 - 40 minutes. Loaves should be well risen and should sound hollow when tapped underneath. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Slice when cool and butter.
