3 MIN READ
  1. 01

    Pour 6 tablespoons of lukewarm water into a bowl, then add the yeast and one teaspoon of sugar. Mix to combine, and set it aside to bloom for 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    After the yeast has bloomed, transfer the rest of the ingredients into your mixer bowl. Add the bloomed yeast and knead for 8 to 15 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and stretchy.

  3. 03

    Transfer the kneaded dough until a floured work surface

  4. 04

    Shape the dough into a ball and divide. I'm using one medium sized pan and one larger pan

  5. 05

    Shape the doughs into logs

  6. 06

    After shaping the doughs into logs, please transfer them into greased pans. I typically grease the pans first, then line the bottom with parchment paper

  7. 07

    Once the dough is in the pans, cover them with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for one hour, or until it rises slightly above the rims of the pans.

  8. 08

    Preheat your oven to 180°C

  9. 09

    Transfer the pans into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. You can start checking the bread after 20 minutes, as some ovens are hotter than others and baking times can vary

  10. 10

    Remove the bread from the pan, and transfer it unto a wire rack to cool
