Bread Maker Classic White Loaf

13 comments

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 3-4 Hours
Makes: 1 loaf (cut into 10 slices)

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp caster sugar or honey 
  • 350g strong white bread flour 
  • 1 tsp fast-action dried yeast 

Method:

Step 1: Start by sprinkling ½ tsp salt into the base of the bread maker's bread pan, then pour over 190ml just-warm water, the oil and sugar or honey. Tip in the flour, but don't mix it into the wet ingredients. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the yeast. (This is important if you’re using the delay function on your bread maker, as the yeast won’t activate until the mixing starts.) Close the lid. 

Step 2: Set the bread maker for a ‘basic’ loaf or similar – the function should include kneading, rising and baking, and take 3-4 hrs. Make sure to use the ‘keep warm’ or crust darkening/colour function, if you have those on your machine. 

Step 3: Carefully release the bread from the pan and tip onto a wire rack to cool completely. Check that the kneading blade is not still in the base of the bread. Will keep wrapped at room temperature for up to three days.

    I found the loaves came out pale. I found blocking the side vents from the outside with a tablecloth helps get browned loaves

    I would like a recipe book please. I am particularly interested in brown bread. Many thanks

    I too have lost my recipe book and can’t find anything online – surely it would be simple enough for Morphy Richards to make the recipe booklets available online as a pdf?

    There’s a phone number on my instruction booklet. Maybe they will reply if you ring it?
