Bakery-Style Italian Sandwich Bread
Directions
- 1In a bowl, combine all purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in warm water and olive oil.
- 2Mix the ingredients together very well with a spatula until there's no dry flour left.
- 3Once all flour is combined and you have a sticky dough, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
- 4Once doubled, transfer your dough to a lightly floured surface and shape loosely into a rectangle.
- 5Starting from the short side, roll your dough while pinching the seam between each roll.
- 6Once at the end, pinch the seam to close and tuck the ends over to get a loaf shape.
- 7Transfer the loaf to a parchment lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to rise for another 30 minutes.
- 8Once risen, brush with egg wash, cut 3-4 shallow diagonal lines into your dough and bake at 375F for 35 minutes or until golden.
- 9Allow to cool fully and enjoy!
