Easy Homemade Bread

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients and mix the dough, using a food processor or kneading by hand.

Step 2

Sprinkle flour on the dough and shape it into a smooth, neat ball.

Step 3

Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

Step 4

Punch the dough down, divide it into portions, and shape into loaves or buns.

Step 5

Let the shaped dough rise again for 40 minutes.

Step 6

Bake loaves at 160°C for 25 minutes, or buns at 150°C for 18 minutes. An air fryer oven works too.

Step 7

Brush the top with butter to soften the crust, then cover with a kitchen napkin for 5 minutes to trap the heat.
