Cottage Loaf
Cottage Loaf
Cottage Loaf is a type of bread traditionally made in the UK. It consists of two round balls of bread stacked one on top of the other, creating a unique and charming shape. It’s perfect for tearing apart and enjoying with some butter or as part of a sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
- Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with a tea towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions – one slightly larger than the other.
- Shape the larger portion into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Shape the smaller portion into a smaller ball and place it on top of the larger one, pressing down slightly to stick them together.
- Cover the loaf with a tea towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
