🍞 Homemade Bread – 1kg Loaf

Ingredients:

• 650 g all-purpose or bread flour
• 10 g salt
• 10 g sugar
• 7 g dry yeast (1 packet)
• 400 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Instructions:

1. Activate Yeast:
   • In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar.
   • Sprinkle yeast on top, let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2. Make Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
   • Add yeast mixture and olive oil.
   • Mix to form a soft dough.
3. Knead:
   • Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise:
   • Cover dough and let it rise 1–2 hours until doubled.
5. Shape & Second Rise:
   • Punch down dough, shape into a loaf.
   • Place in greased 1kg loaf pan or on baking tray.
   • Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes.
6. Bake:
   • Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
   • Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
7. Cool:
   • Remove from pan, cool on wire rack before slicing.

This makes a soft, fluffy 1kg homemade loaf perfect for sandwiches or toast.

If you want, I can also give a no-knead 1kg bread version that’s even easier and super soft. Do you want me to do that?
