Ingredients

Procedure

  • In a bowl mix together flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
  • Add the oil and water and mix to form a soft and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer to the counter and dust it with flour.
  • Knead for 10 minutes until the dough passes the window pane test. When a small portion of the dough is stretched, it should become a thin film with out breaking. It should be thin enough so that light can pass through it.
  • Oil a bowl and place the dough inside.
  • Rotate the bowl to coat the dough with oil.
  • Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours or until the dough is double the size.
  • Now transfer the dough back to counter and press it to form a square.
  • Roll the dough like a jelly roll.
  • Pinch the dough for each roll until you finish rolling the square.
  • Pinch ends and place the roll seam side down in a greased loaf pan.
  • Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 20-30 minutes or until the dough is almost double in size.
  • Preheat oven to 225°C.
  • Remove the cling wrap and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes in oven.
  • If the bread seems to be browning fas, then place an aluminium foil on top of it to slow the browning.
  • Once the bread sounds hollow to tap, remove it from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
  • Gently use a spatula to release the bread from the sides of the tin.
  • Flip it to release the bread from tin.
  • Let it cool on wire rack.
  • Slice it with a long serrated bread knife only when it is completely cool.
  • Enjoy!!
