I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Add all ingredients listed in the order of the list and using the
"Dough mode" dough function set time to knead for 10 minutes and turn dial to start. Wrap in a Thermomat or place in an oiled bowl with cling film to cover. Rest dough in a warm spot until doubled in volume. I just place it in my cold oven and the doughs own warmth is enough heat for the proving process.On an oiled bench or Thermomat knock down dough until it's fairly flat and all the gasses have been expelled. Roll into a log the length of your bread tin and place it in. This is great for a nice even high top or an even flat top if using a lid. The log can also be cut into 3 or 4 sections with cut edge facing the sides of the tin for a fancier top to your loaf. Place in a cold oven until your dough rises 2/3 of the way up the tin sides. In cooler climates you might want to add a tray of boiling water to the bottom of your oven for this process to be successful.
Without removing your loaf from the oven turn oven on to 180°-200° and bake until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. This could take between 30 - 45 minutes. When loaf is baked empty from tin straight away and cool on a cooling rack before slicing.
This recipe was developed as a variation of the Basic Bread in The Basic Cook Book and the White Bread recipe featured on the back of the Defiance Brand Bakers Flour 5kg bag.I strongly advise seeking advice on max quantities of dough mix for your thermomix when kneading larger quantities in your machine.

Tip
Bread Improver is an additive, it improves the fluffiness and shelf life of your bread. Read the label and do some research if you are concerned about this item. This can be omitted or replaced with a more natural alternative such as 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice or 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. The tin featured in my photos is a jumbo loaf tin.
A smaller tin can be used just give it a try with what you have or you can purchase from the thermomix Australia mix shop

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

It made my day to finally make a loaf of bread that worked! The instructions were spot on for me. I used the 10g sugar and 15g apple cider vinegar idea instead of bread improver. Thank you!

Absolutely Perfect, I'll never bother buying bread again.
Super easy, I don't even bother with expensive bread flour now, I've been using home brand plain flour and still getting amazing results.
Thanks so much for sharing
So soft, and just perfect. Will certainly be making again and again... Thank you for a great recipe.
Is it possible I let it rest for too long before baking? It sort of rose but then it just ended up quite dense once it was cooked.
Have been making this every couple of days lately and we all love it. Very crisp crust and lovely and soft inside. Thank you for such an easy recipe to make 😁
Perfect loaf, I used 10g white sugar and 15g apple cider vinegar and no bread improver.
We've been using another bread loaf
Lookibg for a new recipe that was lighter and less dense led me here and I've just removed the most magnificent loaf from my oven! Thank you for such an easy and great recipe!!
I added 10gm of sugar and I used 15ml of ACV instead of the bread improver. Worked a treat!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I am just making this for the second time - going to be a regular feature in our house. So easy, and keeps well.
Made this bread twice, once by the recipe...fantastic 5* Second time made with half butter(ran out) and half garlic olive oil, plus some chopped red chillis and it tatses amazing!
This is the first bread recipe I’ve had success with. My family love it!
