Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (100°F to 110°F)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Dissolve sugar in warm water, then sprinkle active dry yeast over it. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms with no dry spots.
- Knead the dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky, developing gluten for chewiness.
- First rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape and second rise: Punch down dough gently, shape into a loaf or rolls, place on a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise another 30 to 45 minutes until puffed.
- Bake to golden glory: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. Cool slightly before slicing to set the crumb.
Notes
- Use warm water between 100°F and 110°F for best yeast activation.
- Allow dough to fully double in size for perfect texture.
- Knead thoroughly to develop gluten for fluffy, chewy bread.
- Brush dough surface lightly with vegetable oil before baking for a shiny crust.
- Cool bread completely on a wire rack to keep crust crisp and prevent sogginess.
