This recipe is for the easiest (non-machine) white bread in the world. With just four simple ingredients, you can make a delicious, crusty loaf of bread that is perfect for sandwiches or toast.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the bread flour, yeast, salt, and caster sugar.
2.Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the hand-hot water. Stir until everything comes together and forms a shaggy dough.
3.On a floured surface, knead the dough for 10-15 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4.Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5.Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F and place a pan of hot water on the bottom shelf of the oven.
6.Shape the dough into a round or oval shape and place it on a floured baking tray. Score the top of the bread with a sharp knife or razor blade.
7.Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
8.Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
