White Bloomer Loaf

Recipe Description

This White Bloomer Loaf is a delicious bread loaf that is really simple to make as long as you have time to wait for the dough to rise. The longer you leave this bread to bake, the crustier it becomes on the outside. So if like me, you love a crusty loaf, make sure you leave the bread in the oven a bit longer.

To make this bloomer, start by mixing yeast with water and olive oil. After a few minutes, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together and add the yeast mixture. Knead until the dough becomes stretchy. Leave the dough to rise in a greased bowl. When the dough has doubled, knead it again to knock the air out of the dough before shaping it into a loaf. Leave to rise once more before baking. Once cool, this bread is ready to use with your favorite sandwich fillings!

To make the White Bloomer Loaf, you will need the following ingredients:
