Farm Style Bread
Place all of the dry ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and begin mixing on low speed. Add the oil to the warm water and slowly, a little at a time, add the water to the flour mixture well until combined. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on low speed until the dough is smooth, elastic and not sticky to the touch. Place the dough into a clean, lightly oiled bowl, loosely covered with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place for about an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Using your fist, punch down the dough to expel the air. Lightly knead by hand for a minute or two until the dough is smooth again. Equally divide the dough in 2. Shape each half into a log and place into 2 lightly greased loaf tins. Once again, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for 30 – 40 minutes until doubled in size.
In the interim preheat the oven to 180°C.
Lightly brush the loaves with egg wash* and place into the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until beautifully risen, golden and sounds hollow when gently tapped underneath. Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack. Slice and spread of delicious salted farm butter!
