Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 315 milliliters Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Attach the dough blade to your food processor.
In the food processor bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually pour the warm water and olive oil into the food processor while it is running. Process the mixture for about 1-2 minutes or until the dough comes together and forms a smooth, elastic ball. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time; if it's too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for about 2-3 minutes to ensure consistency and elasticity.
Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough to release excess air. Shape it into a log and place it into the prepared loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter for a soft, shiny crust.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
