The recipe
Ingredients for one loaf:
420g of milling wheat flour
180g of strong white flour
2 tsp of easy bake dried yeast
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of light brown soft sugar
340mls of warm water
Method (optimised for a Kenwood mixer with dough hook):
1) Mix all the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.
2) Pour water into your mixer bowl, and then add the dry ingredients.
3) Mix on MIN until combined, then increase the speed to 1 and mix for 5 mins.
4) Shape your dough into a buttered 2lb loaf tin. Cover with a plastic shower cap, or place in a large
plastic bag and leave to rise. There is no need to “knock back” the dough.
5) About 20 mins before baking, preheat your oven to 260 degC (Fan 240 degC), Gas mark 9. Place a roasting pan at the bottom of the oven. Fill a cup with water and set aside.
6) When your dough has finished rising, remove the shower cap/bag. Place the loaf tin in the oven and pour the cup of water onto the hot roasting pan to form steam (this stops the surface of the bread from cracking, helps to glaze it, and also softens the crust).
7) Immediately lower the oven temp to 200 degC (Fan 180 deg C), Gas mark 6.
8) Bake for 35 mins or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Place on a wire rack to cool.
