Quick Bread Dough

Thursday 2nd February 2012 4:43 PM

This recipe makes enough dough for 6 rolls, a small (200g) tin loaf, 2 focaccia, 1 large pizza base or 2 smaller ones, or 3 calzones.
Also great for tear and share - and perfect with our soup recipes.

Ingredients

225g strong plain flour
1 x 6g sachet easy-blend (micro-fine)
yeast
150ml warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil - for greasing
extra flour for dredging and kneading

Equipment

- mixing bowl
- measuring jug
- teaspoon
- wooden spoon

How to make it

1. Mix the flour and yeast in a mixing bowl. Make a 'well' in the centre.

2. Add all the warm water and oil. Mix to a soft dough with a wooden spoon. Additional water will be needed if the mixture is too dry.

3. Use one hand to gather the dough together. Knead on a lightly floured surface for approximately 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and springy.

4. Place the dough (covered) in a warm place until risen twice its size.

5. Re-knead ('knock-back') the dough and shape it, as required (see below).

6. Heat the oven to 220°c/Gas7. Set aside to rise again and then bake.
