Ingredients

  • 300 g all-purpose flour approximately 2 ⅓ cups
  • 30 g granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
  • 4 g salt ⅔ teaspoon
  • 10 g dry yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 200 ml lukewarm milk just under 1 cup
  • One egg for egg wash for brushing the loaf

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast, vegetable oil, and lukewarm milk. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough.
  • Move the dough to a floured work surface. Knead it for roughly 10 minutes, or until it feels smooth and elastic.
  • Shape your dough into a ball. Then, with a rolling pin, flatten it into an oval shape. Roll the dough up tight, folding in the ends as you go. Stop once you have about 4 inches of dough left unrolled.
  • With a dough cutter, section the remaining unrolled dough into even strips. Finish the roll, making sure to securely tuck in the strips.
  • Set the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise for around 30 minutes, or until its size has roughly doubled.
  • Heat your oven to 390°F (200°C).
  • Give the loaf a generous brushing with your egg wash.
  • Bake it in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely shade of golden brown and your kitchen fills with a mouthwatering scent.
  • Once done, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a bit.
  • Enjoy the satisfaction of baking your own bread at home with this simple recipe. Whether you're a seasoned baker or trying your hand at bread making for the first time, you'll love the taste and texture of this homemade bread.
