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.
