Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and Cajun seasoning until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and melted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may need to add a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Lightly grease a large bowl with the olive oil, place the dough in the bowl, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the excess air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes, or until the dough has puffed up and nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough undergoes its second rise.
Once the dough has risen, place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your freshly baked Cajun Bread as is, or serve it alongside your favorite dishes!
