There is a four-ingredient bread recipe that is simple to make at home and is perfect for sandwiches and toast, its creator has said. One TikToker has shared the recipe and method and shows how easy it is for even inexperienced bakers. Cook and baker @mumsfoodies, who advocates for making food instead of buying it from supermarkets, shared her farmhouse loaf recipe that only uses four ingredients, some of which you likely already have in your house.

Baking bread at home can seem like a daunting task but there are plenty of ways to make it that are super easy and flavourful. This is just one example, but there are many bread recipes that use minimal ingredients and can be made in one afternoon. “I normally make this in the evening and let it cool on the rack all night while I sleep,” the mum said of the bread. Here is everything you need to make this bread and the fool-proof recipe you need to follow.

The 4 ingredients you need to make a farmhouse loaf:

7g instant yeast
1 tbs honey (approx)
350g white bread flour
1/2 tbs salt

You will also need 250ml of lukewarm water which you can just get from the tap.

Here is the method that the TikTok creator says to follow:

1. Mix yeast and water together before adding honey and mixing. The go in with the flour and then the salt and mix until it’s fully combined and shaggy.
2. Cover that and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then wet your hand and stretch and fold the batter four times.
3. Let it rest for another 30 minutes then repeat the stretch and folding process, leaving it to rest again for one hour to 90 minutes.
4. Flour the top of the dough and your work surface before taking the dough out of the bowl and gently stretching it out.
5. Fold it twice (thirds) and roll it up.
6. Place in a greased tin and cover it, letting it rest for 45 minutes.
7. Bake for ten minutes with a small dish of water in the oven and a further 20-23 minutes without.

The result is a crispy loaf that is soft on the inside, something the creator says is perfect for sandwiches.

Bread baking has become popular on TikTok and people have been sharing their easy recipes for a perfect bit of bread at home, such as a handy two-ingredient small loaf and a two-ingredient flatbread.
