@cookingtherapyag: Bread Loaf Recipe Ingredients 1 c warm water 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast 1 1/4 tsp sugar 21/2-3 c bread flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp olive oil Ingredients Prepare yeast by adding to warm water with sugar. Let bloom for 5-10 minutes. Add flour, salt, and olive. Combine. Knead for 8 minutes. Add to an oiled bowl and cover. Let rise for 60 minutes. Shape dough into a 15 in loaf. Create 3 diagonal slits in top of loaf. Cover and let rise 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden. Should sound hollow when done. I brushed mine with melted butter. To make a garlic loaf, let cool for 10 minutes and cut loaves in half, long ways. Mix softened butter, garlic, and basil. Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. Spread butter on loaf. I also topped with ripped mozzarella. Return to oven and bake for 6-7 minutes. #bread #breadmaking #homemadebread #breadtok #EasyRecipe
