Simple Homemade Bread


We've been wanting to try homemade bread for a long time!

Ingredients:
* 500g plain flour
* 1 tsp sugar
* 1.5 -2 tsp salt
* 1 tbsp baking powder *optional
* 1 tbsp dry yeast
* 350ml lukewarm water
* Oil or butter for greasing the baking tin

Instructions:
Combine flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and mix together. Add sugar and dry yeast to a cup, add a bit of warm water and stir. Let the yeast activate and add to the flour mixture.

Slowly add more warm water and mix together. Add the warm water slowly so your dough doesn't go too runny! Once all is combined, cover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes.

Uncover the dough and stir with a wooden spoon again, cover it again and let it rest for the next 30 minutes.

Preheat oven at 200c and grease your baking tin. Pop the dough in the tin, cover it up and leave to rise for 10 minutes (or until it's almost up to the edges of the pan)

Place in the oven, and bake for 40 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown.
