I have always wanted to bake sandwich bread at home and was looking for an easy recipe for the same. Recently I found a good fail proof recipe in a cookbook and since then have tried the bread a couple of times. It turned out very soft and delicious bread each time. But one thing I regret most after baking the bread is being so impatient that every time I would not wait to cool the bread completely and sliced it. That’s why my slices are always imperfect.

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cup bread flour
1 sachet active dried yeast
1 cup milk
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Method:
In a mixing bowl add the hot water, milk, olive oil,salt, sugar and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Add 2 cups of sifted flour into the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
Keep the dough into a lightly oiled bowl covered with cling film and let it rest for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Grease a 9″ loaf tin with oil or butter.
Once risen punch down the dough onto a floured work surface. Add 1 1/2 cups of more flour and keep kneading for about 10 minutes.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the prepared pan. Cover with greased cling film.
Let the loaf rise for about 45 minutes into a warm place. Preheat the oven to 200° C.
Once risen bake the loaf for 10 minutes at 200° C and then for 30 minutes at 180° C.
Remove the loaf from oven, cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve. Stays well for 3-4 days at room temperature.

3 1/2 means how much weights???
It would be about 420 gms in weight. Hope this helps.
what do you set your oven on to bake
Two cups of flour + 2 cups of liquid is more like batter!? Even 2:3.5 is not kneadable. Is this a misprint or is it supposed to be more batter-like? I just added flour until mine was a “normal” (to most of my other recipes) consistency. Rising now, so I guess I’ll see
Hi Robbin,
The recipe calls for 3 1/2 cup of flour. in the starting, you will need to add 2 cups of flour only and the rest of the 1 1/2 cup will be added after the first rise. I hope it is clear now. Thanks
