Basic Bread Recipe

Ingredients (12 servings):
1 box (500 g) Loprofin Mix
1 sachet dried yeast (supplied with mix)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
425 mL (about 14.5 fl oz) room temperature water
1 x (2 lb) bread loaf pan + 1 x (1 lb) loaf tin OR 3 x (1 lb) loaf tins

Optional Flavorings to be added at Step 4:

For sweet breads, add 250 g (8.5 oz) dried fruit of your choice,
2 tsp All Spice/other sweet spice and/or 2 tbsp molasses.

For Olive and Tomato Bread, add 1 tsp salt, 3 tbsp olives and tomato and stir through dough.

To make Sweet and Savory Loaves from one basic batter recipe, divide bread batter evenly between two bowls. To one bowl, add half sweet flavorings; to second bowl add half of savory flavorings; beat well. Continue with basic recipe from step 4.

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Mix together the Loprofin Mix and the yeast into a large bowl, stir in the oil and water.
3. Beat the mixture for 1 minute, if using an electric hand mixer, or 2–3 minutes if using a wooden spoon, until the batter is smooth and glossy.
4. Stir in the flavorings if desired.
5. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins, smooth the surface and carefully brush with oil to seal the batter and prevent it drying out whilst rising.
6. Loosely cover the pans with cling wrap and put in a warm place to rise. This should take about 30 minutes, until the batter has doubled in size.
7. Remove the cling wrap and bake the bread in a preheated oven (425°F) for approximately 25 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Cool on a wire rack.
