    Simple Ingredients

    • ⅔ cup Water(160 ml)
    • ¼ cup Plain yogurt(60 g - the secret ingredient!)
    • 1 tsp. Fresh yeast(3 g, or ½ tsp. (2 g) dry yeast)
    • 1 tsp. Sugar(A tiny bit of sugar to start the yeast)
    • 1 tbsp. Vegetable oil(For extra softness)
    • 2 ½ cups Bread flour(320 g)
    • 1 tsp. Salt(6 g)
    • 2 tbsp. Sesame seeds(Or any seeds you like, for topping)

    Step-by-Step Sandwich Bread Method

    1. 1
      Prepare the base: In a large bowl, combine water, plain yogurt, fresh yeast, and a tiny bit of sugar to start the yeast (optional). Mix until completely dissolved.
    2. 2
      Add oil and dry ingredients: Add vegetable oil, bread flour, and salt to the mixture. Mix until there's no more dry flour - just mix, no need to... knead! The dough will be soft and manageable.
    3. 3
      First rest: Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and the yogurt to work its magic.

    4. 4
      First stretch and fold: With a wet hand, stretch the 4 sides of the dough and fold to the center. This gentle technique develops perfect structure.
    5. 5
      The lift and slap: Lift the dough and slap it back into the bowl. I call this technique 'lift and slap' - it's essential for developing the right texture.
    6. 6
      Second rest: Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. You'll notice the dough becoming smoother and more elastic.

    7. 7
      Repeat the process: Repeat the steps from before - stretch and fold the 4 sides, lift and slap once more. Now the dough is very elastic, great! This is exactly what we want to see.
    8. 8
      Main rise: Leave to rise until it has doubled in size, usually about 2 hours. This is where the magic happens!

    9. 9
      Prepare for shaping: Sprinkle flour on work surface. Turn out the risen dough - it should be beautifully developed.
    10. 10
      Shape for loaf: Fold the dough in half, then gently flatten the dough to form a rectangle. This creates the base for our sandwich loaf.
    11. 11
      Roll and shape: Roll and press down with the tips of your fingers, working from one end to create a tight loaf shape. Watch my video for visual guidance.
    12. 12
      Seal the loaf: Seal the edge by pinching it. Close well to ensure the loaf holds its shape during baking.
    13. 13
      Transfer to pan: Move it to the loaf pan. I use baking paper to prevent sticking - this makes removal so much easier!
    14. 14
      Final rise: Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy and ready.

    15. 15
      Prepare for baking: Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Brush with water to help the seeds stick. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds or any seeds you like.
    16. 16
      Score: Score the bread with a sharp blade or knife. Make confident cuts for proper expansion.
    17. 17
      The secret trick: Cover with another loaf pan! This creates the perfect steam environment for that crispy crust.
    18. 18
      Steam baking: Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 25 minutes covered. This develops that amazing super thin, crispy crust.
