Here is my bread recipe
800 g of Allinson bread flower Morrisons is also ok
14 g of Allinson fast action yeast
50g of unsalted butter
16g table salt
480 ml of water
Just mix all the ingredients together in the usual way and knead for 8 minutes leave to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in size then knock all the air out and divide in half and shape to size and place in two 1ld bread tins and cover and leave to rise for around 1 hour or until doubled in size
I bake mine on gas mark 5 for around 40 minutes I also put a tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven just prior to baking this creates steam and helps for a better crust! When cooked either bread, bread cakes, rolls baps etc are best turned upside down and baked for a further 5 minutes this will crisp the bottom of the bread.
