Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 164kcal
Ingredients
- 3 ½ Cups Unbleached All Purpose flour.
- ⅛ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Packet Active Dry Yeast
- ⅛ Cup Olive Oil
- 1 ½ Cups Warm Water
- 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Mix 1 ½ cups of the flour, with the syrup, yeast, oil and warm water and stir to combine.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes.
- Mix in the remaining flour and salt.
- Let the mixture rest for another 10 minutes.
- Knead the ball of dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Be sure not to use too much flour on the surface or you will end up with dry bread.
- Place the kneaded dough ball in a glass or steel bowl that has been wiped with oil or butter and allow to rise for about 90 minutes. It should double in size.
- Roll up your dough and place in a buttered or oiled 9x5 Loaf pan and allow the dough to proof for about an hour. The dough should be over the top of the pan.
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and pan. Place it on a cooling rack and allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
- Be sure not to use too much flour when kneading the dough. The extra flour ends up mixed into the dough. When this happens, the flour-to-water ratio is off, resulting in dryer, more crumbly bread.
