    GET THAT BREADD BABY 🍞♥️ lemme inform you this was a complete journey and defo contact & go whether or not this could pull by 😯 One proud mumma of this although! 🤰🏽

    Peek my highlights for the wild experience of this bread journey👩🏽‍🍳 when you’re barely lazy in the case of bread that is v low effort, don’t be delay by the fermenting time!

    All you’ll want is robust bread flour, quick dry motion yeast & water 👌🏽 (oh & salt, okay four substances however does salt really matter?)

    Steps are as s:
    🧈 Combine collectively 430g bread flour with 380ml water & 1/four tsp yeast

    👀 The recipe says so as to add 12g of salt however I solely did a sprinkle – in hindsight would defo have added greater than I did however the salt police (mum) clouded my judgement lol 🧂go for a tsp or so to assist it have a little bit of flavour & style much less yeasty

    🧈 As soon as blended collectively: cowl with a humid tea towel or cling movie & go away to ferment for 12-18 hours

    👀 I didn’t time this proper and left mine 20 hours ultimately oop. Would advocate to schedule forward so you recognize you’ll be free ⏱

    🧈 As soon as time has handed, moist your arms and fold sides of the bread into the center going spherical a few occasions

    🧈 Tip this combination onto parchment paper & cowl with a bowl for two extra hours to show

    👀 My combination was moist af so it spilt out massively & leaked beneath the bowl too. I ended up taking the bowl off about 1.5 hours in and simply going forward with the bake. It’s possible you’ll want a serving to hand to cease it spilling

    🧈 Switch into heavy rounded oven dish & bake at 200 levels (fan) for 40minutes with the lid on & 20 minutes with the lid off – to brown the highest!

    🧈 Take away from the oven & enable to chill on a wire rack. Get pleasure from squidgy or toasted with plenttyyy butter!! Identify a greater combo, I’ll wait??

    👀 The parchment paper did stick slightly to the bread so perhaps butter it Idek, didn’t have an effect on it as I simply peeled it off!
