white bread

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 350 g flour
• 150 ml milk
• 150 ml water
• 1 pinch(s) of sugar
• 1 tsp, heaped dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp milk for brushing
• Butter for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Heat the milk and water in a saucepan and pour into a small bowl. Add the sugar. Sprinkle in the dried yeast and stir until dissolved. Let the starter dough prove for 10 minutes. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Pour in the now foamy starter dough and the oil. Work the dough well until it pulls away from the bowl. Place the dough on a work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled loaf pan, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour. During this time, the dough should roughly double in size. Knead the dough again for about 10 minutes to remove any trapped air. Then shape it into an oblong loaf and place it in a greased baking pan. Brush the top of the dough with milk and let it rise for another 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Now tap the bread with a spoon when it is golden brown: if it sounds hollow, then it is done.
