The good ol' bread recipe
Aimee: This is tried and true and it was requested that this be uploaded to this blog!
It has been made into dinner rolls, dinosaurs that looked like chickens. This bread has been made by four year olds (whilst singing Frozen). It's basically foolproof!
Ingredients
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
150ml milk
150ml boiling water
500g bread flour (if you're making this in NZ you'll need gluten flour but I don't know how much, ask Mother)
1/2tsp salt
1 lightly beaten egg
30g melted butter
Method
Combine water and milk, dissolve sugar in liquid, sprinkle over yeast and wait a few minutes. Combine dry ingredients, make a well, add yeast-ey mixture as well as the egg and butter.
Knead for 10 min or so until it's "ready" (haha I'm so descriptive).
Leave in a lightly oiled bowl for an hour or so until doubled in size.
Knock back, knead for a few more minutes, and shape into whatever form you please.
Leave to rise again for another 45-60 min if you have the luxury of such time. If not, a bit of rising will do, it will still work :-)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, and after coating the bread with an egg wash, seeds, cheese, whatever you like, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Lots of recipes say to drop the oven temp at that point but I always prefer to underbake this recipe. That's the basic idea anyway!

It is 4tsp of gluten flour in the recipe if using 500g plain white flour rather than UK bread flour
