Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make High-Altitude Basic Bread.
Step 1
Begin by pouring warm water into a bowl and sprinkling in the active dry yeast.
Step 2
Let this mixture rest for about 10 minutes until it transforms into a frothy delight.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, combine bread flour, melted coconut oil, sugar, and salt, then add the foamy yeast mixture.
Step 4
Knead the dough for approximately 15 minutes until it achieves a silky-smooth texture.
Step 5
Next, transfer the kneaded dough to a generously oiled bowl, turning it to ensure it’s well-coated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with a towel and place it in a warm spot, allowing it to rise until it doubles in size, which should take around 1 hour.
Step 7
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prepare for baking.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen beautifully, gently punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Step 9
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan.
Step 10
Drape a damp cloth over it and let it rise again until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
Step 11
After this second rise, unveil the dough and slide it into the preheated oven.
Step 12
Bake for 30 minutes for an Italian-style loaf or 45 minutes for a hearty sandwich bread, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 13
Enjoy the fruits of your labor as you slice into your freshly baked bread!.
