This white loaf recipe made in the Ninja Foodi using the steam bread function is perfect for sandwiches and toast. It’s cooked in a pullman bread tin with a lid on, giving it the flat top and straight edges.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, yeast, 270ml luke warm water, salt, sugar and olive oil.
Knead until a smooth dough forms. If the dough feels sticky to the touch, add extra flour, 1 tsp at a time. Shape the dough into a ball.
Add dough to Ninja Foodi bowl (on some baking paper do it doesn’t stick) and PROVE at 35°C for 60 minutes. The dough should roughly double in size.
Remove from bowl and knock back.
Add 250ml water to the pot and the trivet rack for the bread tin to sit on so that it’s not in the water.
Put the dough in Pullman tin with lid on and prove at 35°C for a further 50 minutes with the lid on.
Select STEAM BREAD, temperature 180°C and set time to 20 minutes.
At the end of the cooking time carefully remove the tin from the pot – you will need to use oven gloves.
Carefully slide the loaf out of the tin and leave it to cool down on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
If you don’t intend to eat it right away, store it in a bread bin or my preferred way, a plastic lined bread bag.If you don’t think you are going to eat it all within a few days, slice it up and store it in the freezer.
