Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Cup (236.59 ml) Warm Water Microwaved to 114 degrees F
- 2 Tablespoons (2 Tablespoons) Sugar
- 1 ½ Teaspoons (1.5 Teaspoons) Yeast
- 3 Cups (709.76 ml) All-Purpose Four 360 grams
- 2 ½ Tablespoons (2.5 Tablespoons) Oil
- 1 Teaspoon (1 Teaspoon) Salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the sugar, yeast and warm water. Let it sit for five minutes until foamy.
- Add the all purpose flour, oil, and salt. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough is soft.
- First Rise: Place the bread dough in an oiled container. Cover and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
- Shaping & Second Rise: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 6 even pieces (they should weigh roughly 112 grams each). Roll each piece into a ball then let sit covered for five minutes. This will relax the gluten and make it easier to roll into loaves. Afterward, roll each piece into a log that is 6 inches in length. Place onto your baking sheet. Cover and let rise for an additional hour or until doubled.
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Position the oven rack in the center
- Baking: Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown on the outside. The internal temp should be 195°F.
- Let sit on a wire rack until ready to eat.
