Description

Baking your own bread at home is a great way to ensure that you are eating fresh, additive-free bread. This Waitrose white bread recipe is simple and easy to follow, and the end result is a delicious, fluffy loaf of bread that's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just enjoying on its own.

Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp fast-action dried yeast
  • 300ml warm water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cling film
  • Baking tray
  • Sharp knife

Method

  1. Mix together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the warm water and mix together to form a dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for around 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with cling film, and leave to rise for around an hour, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to remove any air bubbles, then shape it into a round or oval shape and place on a floured baking tray.
  6. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/425°F/gas mark 7.
  8. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the bread with a deep cross.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for around 40 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Leave to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

If you prefer a softer crust on your bread, cover it with foil after around 20 minutes of baking to prevent it from getting too brown.

Recipes FAQ

Can I make this bread by hand?

Yes, you can knead the dough by hand instead of using a stand mixer. It will take longer, but it will work just as well.

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes, you can freeze this bread. Let it cool completely, then slice it and wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

What's the best way to store this bread?

Store this bread in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want it to last longer, you can freeze it (see above).

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer with a dough hook, you can still make this bread by hand. It will take longer, but it's worth it!
  • If you want a really crusty loaf of bread, you can put a baking tray of water in the bottom of your oven while the bread is baking. The steam will help create a crispy crust.
