250 grams of all-purpose flour (2 cups)1 teaspoon of active dry yeast1 teaspoon of salt1 teaspoon of sugar125 ml of warm water (1/2 cup)1 tablespoon of softened unsalted butter
Preparation
In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water.
In a bowl, place the flour and make a hole in the middle.
In the hole, add the water with the yeast, butter, salt and sugar.
With your hands, start mixing everything and knead the dough well.
After you knead it well, make a ball.
Place in a bowl and cover with a towel.
Let rise for 2 hours in a warm place.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC or 390ºF.
After 2 hours (when the dough has doubled), place it on a baking tray previously dusted with flour.
Shape the dough into a bread type shape.
With a knife, lightly cut 5 grooves across the dough.
Brush the dough with water.
Place it in the oven with a tray in the bottom with a little water so that the crust of the bread turns crusty.
Let it cook for approximately 45 minutes.
The bread is cooked when you hit it with your hand and it feels hollow.
After the bread is baked, take it out of the oven.
