Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
-
Gradually pour the lukewarm water into the well, using a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
-
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Lightly grease a clean bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf by folding and tucking the edges underneath, then place it into a greased 900g loaf tin.
-
Cover the tin with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for a second time, around 30-45 minutes, until it reaches the top of the tin.
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 390°F. Make a few diagonal slashes on top of the loaf with a sharp knife, then bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Optional: Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter for a glossy finish.
-
Remove the loaf from the tin and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy the White Tin Loaf fresh or toasted with your favorite toppings.
