Simple White Flour Bread Recipe

Recipe card for Simple White Flour Bread Recipe.
Course: Baking

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Less than 4 cups of white flour about 410 g
  • 1.5 cups water about 300 ml
  • 1 teaspoon salt about 6 g
  • 160 g butter, melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the white flour and salt.
  3. Add Water: Gradually add water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously. Adjust the amount of water as needed to form a soft dough. The exact quantity may vary slightly depending on the humidity and type of flour used.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared baking pan. Brush the top of the loaf generously with the melted butter. Make a few shallow slashes on the surface of the dough with a sharp knife to allow for expansion during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
