Soft delicious toast bread

Good afternoon all,

Today’s recipe is something I had to come across(not by choice) as my partner loves a soft bread rather than nice and crunchy, I am a big fan of soft inside but almost hard rock on the outside 😂 like rustic and crunchy, so for the Past year that’s what I’ve been making however not long ago my partner said he himself prefer something that’s more soft rather than hard, (he didn’t complain about the other one thought 😂)

So I found simple toast bread recipe ages ago and I twisted it a little with my own and partners preferences – rating 5/5 I ended up eating it all! He only had few slices but I liked it so much I couldn’t resist myself, is that not just typical woman?!!? 🍞 🥖 😂

So Here is the recipe – easy peasy, specially if you fancy some fresh bread on that Sunday morning :-

Ingredients :-

• 20g fresh yeast or 10g of dried yeast
• 250g warm water
• 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup
• 60g of olive oil – I always add as much as possible to make it nice and soft
• Pinch of salt
• 400g of all purpose flour or any bread flour, ( type 450 or 480)

Method :-

Yeats ( doesn’t matter if it’s fresh or dried ones) mix with water, oil, and honey. Mix it all well, add salt and flour. Knead the bread so it comes out very stretchy and elastic, you can use either your hands or the stand mixer. Do it for few minutes, put the dough into the ball covered in olive oil, cover with towel and place in a warm place, I always put on the table next to the heater. Leave it there for around an hour.

After that time, place the dough into already prepared tin( either covered with baking sheet or olive oil and covered in either flour or oats) measurements – 30cm x 10cm or any you prefer. Once the dough is placed put cling foil over the tin, making sure its tight and no air can go through, and leave to rise for another 30min/ or until the point the dough fills in the cling foil.

Baking :-

Preheat the oven to 200c

Put the cake into the preheated oven and bake for around 30-40 mins. Until the point bread looks nice and golden brown.

Enjoy 🍞😊
