sugar

(312 grams) all-purpose flour

salt

olive oil

In a measuring cup, combine the sugar and yeast to 1 cup of lukewarm water, stirring until combined. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and salt.

Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl and combine all the ingredients.

Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of flour onto your work surface and knead the dough for a few minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Store the dough in a sealable plastic bag that has been drizzled in olive oil, making sure the dough is completely covered in the oil. Keep the dough in the refrigerator overnight.

WHEN YOU ARE READY* to bake the bread, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Leave the dough in the plastic zipped bag,and let it come to room temperature (about an hour). *This can sit in your fridge for SEVERAL days!!

Prepare a loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of flour on your work surface, take the dough out of the bag, and knead and fold the dough for about 1 minute.

Form a log with the dough that will fit in your prepared loaf pan. Cover the pan with the  plastic bag and let it rise until is has at least doubled in size (about 2 hours).

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.

After the dough has risen, remove the plastic covering and slash the top of the dough with a sharp knife.

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F, or until the internal temperature is 190-210°F. Let it cool completely before slicing.

Easy homemade bread recipe

bread flour

water, luke warm

tsp caster sugar

In a large bowl,

In a large bowl, add water and sugar. Mix with a spoon, until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the dried yeast over the water and leave it in the bowl, without stirring for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Add flour over the

Add flour over the water with yeast. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Add salt, oil and herbs, if using. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined, into a relatively sticky dough.

Sprinkle a little flour

Sprinkle a little flour on a clean, work surface. Transfer the dough to the surface, and begin to knead it for 10 minutes. We know that it is ready when the result is a silky ball, which does not stick to our fingers.

Transfer the dough into

Transfer the dough into a bowl sprinkled with a little flour. Cover the bowl with a damp towel to leave it to rise. It is ready when it doubles in volume.

We transfer the dough

We transfer the dough back to the lightly floured work surface. We knead for another 5-10 minutes to knock back the air bubbles from the dough. The idea is to return to its initial consistency when it's smooth and silky. Put a little oil in a bread pan and cover with a little flour. Transfer the dough to the pan and leave it to proof for another 30 minutes. The dough will double in volume, directly in the pan.

Preheat the oven to

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius. Bake the bread in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes. We know the bread is ready when you knock on its bottom and it sounds hollow. <br />
If it sounds somewhat clogged, it should be put back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.

Leave the bread to

Leave the bread to cool a little before cutting it. It can be served hot in the morning for breakfast, or for lunch with traditional soup. If you do not want to consume bread immediately, you can put it in the freezer, inside the plastic bag until ready to use.
