Bláithín's Irish Organic Yeast Bread
The beautiful simplicity of these organic ingredients come together to make a deliciously wholesome loaf of bread. Perfect for sandwiches, toast, croutons, garlic bread, or just slathered with butter.
Ingredients
- 300 ml (10 oz) warm filtered or spring water (not hot)
- 8 grams (1 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp) One in a Mill Instant Yeast
- 1/4 tsp Great Value Organic Cane Sugar
- 450 grams (3 1/4 cups) 365 Whole Foods Organic Unbleached Bread Flour
- 1 tsp Hain Iodized Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt
- 1 tsp Great Value Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 Vital Farms Organic Pasture-Raised Egg, beaten
- 30 grams (2 tbsp) Horizon Organic Butter
Instructions
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the warm water and add the yeast. Stir and leave to activate while mixing the dry ingredients together.
- Sieve flour into the large bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add a teaspoon each of salt and sugar.
- Rub in butter.
- Add water/yeast and egg to the dry ingredients and using a dough hook, mix for 5 minutes. (Sometimes you might need to add a little flour here if dough looks very sticky/wet).
- Remove dough and bring together on a floured surface.
- Put into a bread tin and leave somewhere warm for 1hr 15 mins. (Do not cover.)
- Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 30 minutes.
- Let cool before slicing (or serve warm with your choice of topping). Store in a bread box, bread bag, or lidded container.
- Use within 3-4 days. Does not last as long as commercially made breads with preservatives without molding.
Notes
To make bread flour out of all-purpose flour, remove 1 1/2 teaspoons of flour for every cup and replace with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten. Or substitute the vital wheat gluten with baking powder. Sift well.
