Ingredients

For the bread:
  • 500g strong white flour
  • 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 300ml warm water
For the topping:
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tsp dried yeast
  • 100g rice flour

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Bread knife

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise for about an hour.
  3. When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and shape it into a ball. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar, warm water, yeast, and rice flour. Spread this mixture over the top of the dough ball.
  5. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 220°C for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
  7. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the water is warm and not hot, as hot water can kill the yeast.
  • You can use regular flour instead of rice flour for the topping, but rice flour gives the bread its signature cracked texture.
  • If you don't have a bread knife, use a serrated knife instead.
