Method
Baking Instructions
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm water (about 110°F) with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape the Loaf
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
Second Rise
Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool
Remove the loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
