Mix 464 g of room temperature water with 16 g of sugar in a bowl.

Add dry yeast to the water and sugar mixture.

In a large mixing bowl, create a basin in 800 g of flour and add 16 g of salt and 40 g of fat (20 g butter and 20 g oil).

Mix the ingredients for 8 minutes on medium speed until the dough forms and passes the gluten window test.

Cover the dough with a doubled over tea towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into two portions, about 680 g each.

Dust the surface with flour and shape the dough by folding it into thirds and rolling it into a log.

Place the shaped dough into an oiled bread pan and cover with a tea towel.

Turn the oven to the lowest setting and let the dough rise for 20 minutes before checking on it.
