Almost White Bread

I don’t really like white bread that much, but M and M’s mum prefer it so when we had her mum over for lunch, I thought I should make a white loaf. But to make it a bit healthier, I added some brown flour too. I couldn’t go fully white! But if you prefer white, use all white flour instead. We let it prove twice, but once is enough.

Ingredients:

5 cups flour (about 500 g) (I used 3 cups of white bread flour and 2 cups of brown bread flour)

2 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp honey

4 tbsp oil (I used 3 tbsp sunflower and 1 tbsp olive to add a slight tang to it)

1 cup warm water (about 225 ml)

Instructions:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add in the honey, oil, and water. Mix with a bread hook in a stand mixer or else knead on a floured surface. We mixed it in the mixer and then M kneaded it too.

2. Leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour.

3. Knead again and either prove a second time or bake.

4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 200 C.
