White Bread (Basic)

Ingredients :
1kg white bread flour
15ml salt
10ml sugar
1x10g sachet instant dried yeast
20g butter
625ml luke warm water

Method :
Sift the flour, salt, yeast and sugar together.
Work the butter into the dry ingredients.
Add the luke warm water and mix into a soft dough - more water may be added if the dough has not reached the desired consistency.
Knead the dough until soft and elastic.
Place the dough into a mixing bowl that has been lightly coated with oil and cover with a tea towel for about 20 minutes.
After the dough has risen, knead one more time and divide the dough into two equal portions and spread into two bread baking containers that have been greased with butter.
Cover and place in a warm area to allow the dough to rise to double it's size - usually takes between 30 - 40 minutes.
Lightly brush with water and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for about 35 minutes.
