makes a loaf of 850 g

Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the middle, add the sugar, water and yeast and mix in with a little flour from the edge. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Then knead the dough well with the remaining ingredients and let rise, covered, for 60 minutes. Then knead well again, shape it into a long shape and place the dough in a greased loaf pan. Let rise for 40 minutes. Now cut it lengthwise, brush it with water and bake for 15 minutes at 210°C (top and bottom heat) and for a further 35 minutes at 180°C. It’s best to put a small bowl of water in the oven and brush the bread with water every 10 minutes. This gives a nice crust!
