BASIC WHITE BREAD

I have been making this Basic White Bread literally for years now. It’s the perfect base recipe for all of your bread adventures! It’s delicious, fluffy and you can easily add special ingredients to it like olives (I love that one for grilling), cumin, sunflower seeds, dried tomatoes… It is perfect for sandwiches, bruschetta or to make some rolls (like these Seeded Burger Buns or these Pretzel Buns).

Usually, when I make this bread, I make one loaf with part of the dough and some rolls to use for burger buns. You can also sprinkle some sesame seeds, flax seeds or poppy seeds on top!

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water

Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients and knead by hand until a soft dough forms or put all the ingredients in a bread baking machine or kitchen machine and let the machine knead the dough for you.
2. Let it sit, covered with a clean kitchen towel, in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 1 1/2-2 hours).
3. Preheat the oven to 250 °C or 480 °F.
