Start by greasing the loaf tins of your choice.
Pour the lukewarm water into a large mixing bowl. Sprinke on half of the flour, then add the salt, sugar, butter, S&P Flour Booster, S&P Dough Creamer and S&P Even-Rise Yeast. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, or your hands! it will be very sticky! Add the remaining flour and mix again until it is no longer sticky.
(Tip; if you have a mixer (for example a Kenwood or Kitchen-aid) you can use this for mixing at this stage. Use the k-beater)
Once the dough is combined, tip onto a work surface and knead using your hands for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth.
(TIP! This step can also be done in the mixer! Leave the dough in the mixing bowl and attach the dough hook. Knead the dough on high spead for 10 minutes)
Once you are finished kneading, put the dough into a greased bowl and cover with a damp teatowel and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size - this will be at least half an hour but can vary.
Once risen enough, punch the dough down and knead for a few turns. Now shape the dough into rolls or leaves.
Place the shaped dough to the side and cover with a warm teatowel until risen and poking out of the tin or until rolls are doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 160C during this time.
Bake the risen bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top turns slightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the over and let the bread cool completely before removing from the tin. Enjoy!
