Mashed

If you've only experienced the aroma of freshly baked bread when walking into a bakery, it's time to roll up your sleeves for this homemade white bread recipe.

Ingredients

¾ teaspoon active dry yeast

1 ¾ teaspoons sugar, divided

1 ⅛ cups warm water

½ tablespoon salt

3 cups all-purpose flour or white bread flour, divided

1 tablespoon oil

Method

In a large bowl, mix the yeast with ¼ teaspoon sugar and warm water.

Let the mixture sit until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons sugar, along with the salt and 1 ½ cups flour, and whisk to combine.

Mix in the oil.

Add the remaining 1 ½ cups flour, half a cup at a time.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes.

Brush a glass bowl with oil and place the dough ball in the middle, turning it to coat all of the sides.

Cover the bowl with a dish towel for 2 hours. It will rise and get very airy.

Using cooking spray or oil, grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Put the dough in the pan and cover it again for 2 to 3 hours until the dough has doubled in size.

When your dough is almost ready, preheat the oven to 375 F (or 350 F for a convection oven setting.)

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (or 23 to 29 minutes if using convection) until the top is golden brown.

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
