Italian style fast bread

I love freshly baked bread. Especially warm, with a butter on a top... This one will last for at least four days if wrapped in a plastic bag...
















"Italian style fast bread"

- 700g plain flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 10g fast action dried yeast
- 400 warm water
- 1 spoon oil

Mix the flour, salt and yeast with warm water. Knead for 10 min until smooth and elastic. Take a bowl, brush the inside with oil and place the dough inside. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 min then divide into two-thirds and one-third. Shape each into a ball and place on the oiled trays. Wait another 30 min.
Preheat the oven to 220stC. Use a sharp knife to cut a cross in the center of a bigger ball. Brush with a little water and place the smaller round on a top. Press a hole down through the centre of the top ball.

Bake for 40 min until brown.
