Portuguese Bread Recipe
In this blog, I will share an extremely delicious Portuguese bread recipe.
Ingredients
- 769 millilitre Bread flour
- 5 milliliter Fine salt
- 5 milliliter Sugar
- 11 milliliters Instant yeast
- 414 milliliters lukewarm water
- 15 millilitre Olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by placing the flour in a mixing bowl and combining all ingredients except warm water and olive oil. Thoroughly mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the mixture and add the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until the flour has absorbed the liquid and is fully incorporated.
- Let the bowl rise for two hours, covered with a cloth and a woollen blanket.
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 355F.
- Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and shape it into a bread form before placing it on a floured tray. Use a knife to make a cut along the top of the bread.
- Bake the bread for approximately 30 minutes or until the desired level of doneness is achieved.
