Recipes For Bread Making

Anyone have a good simple recipe for making bread..white bread or wheat..no machine...?

I only make bread by hand but have not done so in about 25 yrs. Need recipe..

I've been baking my own for years now - I'll give you a very basic one.

450 g bread (strong) flour
15 g yeast
pinch of sugar
225 g lukewarm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
fresh rosemary or sage or ... whatever you have at home

put the yeast and a pinch of sugar in a cup, then pour the lukewarm water, stir with a knife or a spatula and then add the oil. Leave it to dissolve, forming some foam on top.

Sieve the flour into a bowl, then make a well in the middle and pour the yeast-water mix, mix very well, then add about half tablespoon of salt. It is v. important that the salt doesn't mix directly with the yeast or it will prevent the dough from rising.

Knead your dough for at least 15 minutes (you can use a food processor), then leave it to rest for at least 1 hour. You need to cover your dough with a sheet of oily cling film.

Knead again - the dough should become elastic and soft - then season a plum cake tin, put the dough, add your herbs on top and leave to rise again. Bake at about 200 C - fan function, at the highest section of your oven, for about 30 mins. Some people like to brush the dough with some more olive oil on top before baking it.
