fluffy white bread with a crispy crust

Place the flour in a mixing bowl and mix with the salt. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water with a fork and add to the flour mixture, then add the margarine or butter. Knead everything together with the dough hook for about 3 minutes, initially on a low speed and then on the highest speed, until you have a smooth dough. Preheat the oven to 50°C, turn off, and let the dough rise, covered with a tea towel, for 25-30 minutes, until it has visibly increased in size. Knead the dough again on a sheet of baking paper, form it into a log, and place it in a loaf pan (approx. 26 cm) with the baking paper on it. Let rise for another 40-45 minutes, until the dough has increased in size again. Preheat the oven to 225°C (top and bottom heat), 190°C (fan oven), gas mark 4-5. Bake the bread for about 40 minutes.
