White loaf

 

In the quest for the perfect white loaf, I've decided on white quinoa as the perfect topping.  It's smaller than sesame seeds and sticks better

100ml warm water (approx 40C)

20g caster sugar

1 x 7g satchel of lighthouse yeast + bread improver

1T (20ml) oil

300g bread flour (I'm also using lighthouse)

1t salt

white quinoa seeds for topping

water in a spray bottle
