- Ready In:
- 1hr 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 200 g water
- 400 g bread flour (white, or a mix of whole wheat and white)
- 1 (1/4 ounce) packet instant yeast (or 30g fresh yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 50 g olive oil
directions
- Lightly oil a loaf pan, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place water in TM bowl. Cook 4 minutes/50 degrees/speed soft.
- Add all remaining ingredients. Mix 20 seconds/speed 3 to combine. The mixture should form a ball and the dough will begin to clean the sides of the TM bowl. If the dough is too dry (a common problem if using heavy organic flours) add more water a teaspoon at a time, mixing for two or three seconds after each addition.
- Set the timer for 1 minute 30 seconds. Set to Closed Lid position. Press Wheat button. The mixture should end up soft and pliable and slightly tacky.
- Remove TM lid. Turn TM bowl upside down and undo base unit. The dough will drop out, bringing the blades with it. Remove blades and gather the dough into a ball.
- Press dough lightly into the prepared pan, or shape rolls as desired. Brush the loaf or rolls with olive oil.
- Cover with a tea towel and set in a warm place to rise until doubled, about one hour.
- Bake at 425 degrees F 20-30 minutes for a loaf, 10-12 minutes for rolls - the cooked bread should be golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
