Easy Everyday Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• 2¼ cups flour (all purpose or bread)
• ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water

  (total 185 grams)
• 1¼ tablespoons olive oil
• 1¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
• ¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1 In the stand up mixing bowl add the flour, make a well in the middle and add the
  water, oil, yeast and salt.
• 2 Start to knead on low speed, then increase to #2 speed until combined, 6-7
  minutes. Move the dough to a flat surface and knead a few times, then fold to
  form a compact dough ball.
• 3 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to cover in oil,
  cover the bowl with a clean tea towel or plastic, place in a warm draft free
  area and let rise 1 hour.
• 4 Fold the dough while still in the bowl (to deflate it), move the dough to a flat
  surface and fold in all directions. Divide the dough in 2 parts*. Shape each
  part into a circle (6-8 inches) with your hand and then roll up the circle with
  the seam side up and pinch the edges to close the dough, roll the dough back and
  forth a few times to flatten the edges. Repeat with the 2nd loaf or buns.
• 5 Place the loaves on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Cover with a tea
  towel, place in a warm draft free area and let rise 30-60 minutes.
• 6 Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).
• 7 Score the bread and spray with water. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
