Easy Bread Recipe

4 cups flour
1.5tsp instant yeast (or 1 sachet)
1tbsp olive oil
1 3/4 cups warm water
(after 30mins dissolve 1tsp salt in 1/4 cup warm water)
Mix your flour, olive oil, warm water and yeast together in a bowl. Mixing with a spoon is fine. Cover with cling film and leave to rest in a warm place for 30mins.
After 30mins, dissolve 12g fine salt in 50ml warm water and add to the dough and mix again until combined.
Leave to rest for 3-4hours in a warm place.
Once risen, transfer the dough to a lined high sided baking tray or loaf tin. Try and use a tray that is no bigger than 30x20cm. For a higher loaf, use a log tin. Don’t worry if the dough is very loose and wet.
Before cooking, pre-heat your oven to 220C (fan)
Put in oven for approx 30mins until the bread is baked and golden brown (and sounds hollow when tapped underneath)
