We ran out of bread but it's a long line at the supermarket. Our city is still in community quarantine. I have to make bread. I have no bread flour so I used all purpose flour instead. I also don't have a loaf pan so I just used a tray. I also tried putting a simple slash design on the loaf but it didn't work 😅

Steps

1

In a mixing bowl, mix yeast and sugar with warm water. Let the yeast activate for about 10 minutes. The mixture will look foamy.
2

Add the salt and oil into the activated solution.
3

Add 1 cup of flour and mix using a mixer. I used a dough hook because I am using just a hand mixer.
4

Add one cup of flour at a time. It will be a rough dough after the last cup.
5

Dust an area of your table or counter for kneading. Transfer the dough to that dusted area and knead the dough for about 7 - 10 minutes until smooth.
6

Properly grease a deep bowl. When the dough is smooth, turn it to a ball and place inside the bowl. Cover with samp cloth. Let it rise for about 1 hour.
7

It will puff and almost double in size. Punch the dough and knead it again for another 1 minute.
8

Cut the dough in half, turn to tuck them in and put into two loaf bread. I don't have a loaf pan so I just put each one on a tray. If you do this, make sure to leave at least 4 inches on each side of the dough.
9

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30 - 40 minutes. While raising, preheat your oven to 190 °C.
10

Once dough is ready, bake bread for 30-35 minutes.

Cool and slice to enjoy.
