Sandwich Bread
155 minutes
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 teaspoons honey (or 2 tablespoons sugar)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Steps
- In a bowl, combine the warm water, honey (or sugar), and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the olive oil, salt, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Transfer into a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan.
- Cover and allow the dough to rise a second time for about 30 to 45 minutes, until it crowns just above the rim of the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when gently tapped.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
