Easy bread using bakers ratios. I make this bread all the time. This will take about 2.5 hours from start to finish:
1. Flour 100%
2. Water 60% [0]
3. Salt 2%
4. Yeast 1-1.5% (active dried or instant) [1]
Instructions:
1. mix it all together
2. knead it for 10 minutes (or until it passes the window pane test) [2]
3. let it rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
4. knock it down to release most air. Shape and place in a bread pan. Let it rise again for another 40 minutes.
5. Cook at 220°C (200 in a fan oven) for 40 minutes.
[0] 60% (~65% for brown flour) is the sweet spot for easy to make bread. Any higher and you are going to have to use a "stretch and fold" technique to knead the dough which is more time consuming.
[1] Active Dried Yeast will need to be mixed with some luke warm (blood temperature) water before hand and left to sit for about 10 minutes. Instant Yeast can be mixed straight in with the flour!
