Keyword: Can You Over Knead Bread? How to Tell and Best Tips

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 6 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp sugar plus 1/2 teaspoon for the yeast
  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions 

  • Pour warm water into a bowl, and add the yeast, along with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Leave to stand.
  • In a separate bowl, add the sugar, half of the flour and the salt. Add the oil to your rested yeast mixture and then add the bowl to your flour mixture. Keep adding the remainder of the flour; mixing as you go, until you have a dough.
  • Lightly flour a surface and then knead your dough. This should take around 10 minutes. It should be soft and silky when kneaded correctly.
  • Grease a bowl and leave to prove, covered, for around 2 hours.
  • Lightly work the dough and cut into equal halves. You can then add the dough to two greased pans. Leave for another 2 hours to prove, covered.
  • After this time, bake your loaves in a preheated oven, at 375F, for around 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and leave to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
