Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 15 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 360 milliliters Warm water (about 40°C/105°F)
- 30 milliliters Vegetable oil (or melted butter)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the warm water and vegetable oil (or melted butter) to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. No kneading is required.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, grease a standard-sized loaf pan (9x5 inches or similar). Lightly grease your hands or use a spatula to transfer the dough into the loaf pan, smoothing it out evenly.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until it becomes slightly puffy and reaches just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) during the second rise.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped lightly on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
