Things You'll Need
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 package yeast
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 2-1/2 cups bread flour
- mixing bowl
- wooden spoon
- 5-inch x 9-inch loaf pan
- cooking spray
Instructions
-
Combine water, yeast, salt, sugar, and oil. Stir until completely dissolved. Be sure the water is warm but not hot. If it is too hot it will kill the yeast, and the bread will not rise properly.
-
Add flour and mix dough with the wooden spoon until moderately stiff. All-purpose flour can be substituted for the bread flour, but bread flour yields a nicer texture.
-
Turn dough onto floured board and knead by folding over and pressing in with the heel of your hand. Do this several times until the dough is smooth.
-
Shape dough into a loaf and place in loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray.
-
Set the pan in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size (85 degrees for 30 minutes to an hour).
-
Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
