Petits Pain

My sweetheart likes white bread, so I try to make different types, varying them as I can. I found a recipe for French petits pain and adapted it to our tastes. This recipe makes 8-10 rolls, but it’s easily doubled, or you can make one large loaf.

 

You can also add herbs or seeds. And you can glaze it with an egg wash if you want a glossier finish.

 

Ingredients:

1 tsp dried yeast

175 ml warm water

1 tbsp sugar or honey

250 g strong white bread flour

1 tbsp oil

1 tsp salt

 

Instructions:

1. Mix the yeast, water, and sugar together and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

2. Add in the other ingredients and knead or mix for 5-10 minutes. Leave in an oiled bowl to rise for an hour or so.

3. Shape into rolls or a loaf and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.

4. Bake at 180 C for 15-20 minutes.
