My bog standard every day loaf:-

600g Strong White Bread Flour
1 tsp sugar
1.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp Olive Oil
c400ml of luke warm water
20g fresh yeast (can use a sachet of easy dried yeast)

Mix it all up, may need slightly less or slightly more water.

Knead for 10 mins.

Put in bowl covered with tea towell and leave to rise till it doubles in size c30 mins.

Bash it down and form into right size for loaf tin (don't have to use a tin can bake on greaseproof paper on baking tray.)

Slash top diagonally with sharp knife.

Leave to rise again for c 30mins.

Sprinkle top with flour.

10 mins at Gas mark 7 in pre-heated oven, reduce to Gas mark 4 for another 30 - 35 mins.

Bread is ready when it sounds hollow when tapped.

Try not to eat it all while it's still warm.

      - A friend of mine ios an artisan baker, is this a bad thing? (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 3, 14:52:45
        
        ah, now I see that this has been something of a theme today (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 3, 14:57:09
        
        I don't object to the bread, I object to the artisanery. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 3, 15:02:20
        
        well yes, I suppose you do have a point there (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 3, 15:11:03
        
        Why make beer at home? You can buy cans of carling in the supermarket. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Feb 3, 15:09:47
        
        No. See, my point is being missed again. Bread is great. Making bread is great. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 3, 15:30:11
        
        Ah, I'm with you wholeheartedly on that. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Feb 3, 15:33:40
        
        if Carling was the only beer available your point might be valid (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 3, 15:20:42
        
        "Carling" is one very good reason for making ones own beer Worz. (General Chat) - CB41, Feb 3, 15:21:59
        
        You catch my drift though. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Feb 3, 15:21:46

        You can use plain flour but it's not got so much gluten in so won't be as stretchy, (General Chat) - jafski, Feb 3, 15:51:00
