Ingredients
Scale
- 350g wheat flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5g dry yeast
- 210ml boiled but not hot water
- 30g vegetable oil
- Additional flour for dusting
- Milk for brushing
- Butter for brushing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
- Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly flour a surface, shape the dough into a loaf, and place it on a baking tray. Cover and let it rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top of the dough with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush with butter for a soft, glossy crust.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake at a slightly higher temperature (400°F/200°C) for the last 5 minutes.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If using whole wheat flour, add an extra tablespoon of water to keep the dough from being too dry.
- This dough can also be shaped into rolls for individual servings.
