Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1¾ cups warm water (397 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon SAF instant yeast (or active dry) (9 grams)
  • ½ tablespoon salt (9 grams)
  • ¼ cup canola oil (or vegetable oil) (37 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (63 grams) (or white sugar)
  • 4½ cups unbleached bread flour (or all-purpose flour) (585 grams)

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients: Combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, and honey in a mixer with a dough hook attached.
  2. Initial mixing: Add 4 cups of flour to the mixer and begin mixing the dough. Slowly add the remaining ½ cup of flour until the dough is slightly sticky but forms a ball as it kneads.
  3. Kneading: Knead the dough for 6-9 minutes in a mixer until smooth and elastic.
  4. Rising: Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size.
  5. Shaping: Divide the dough, shape it into loaves, and place them in prepared pans.
  6. Second rise: Allow the loaves to rise until they reach the desired size.
  7. Baking: Preheat the oven, bake the loaves until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • You can brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter after baking for a softer crust.
  • Store the bread in a plastic bag or airtight container once cooled to keep it fresh.
