Ingredients 390-420ml warm water 1 teaspoon (5g) honey, sugar or agave 1 Tablespoon (15ml)extra virgin olive oil 1.5 teaspoons (6g) instant yeast 500g white bread flour* 2 teaspoons fine sea salt Method -Mix, cover, wait 15 mins, stretch and fold. -Cover, wait 15 mins, stretch and fold. -Cover, let sit at room temp for 1.5 hours. -Start preheating oven. -Shape dough as instructed in video. -Place on parchment, cover with bowl and wait 30 mins while pot preheats. -Score, place into preheated pot and bake. Oven temp 250C/480F. Bake for 40-45 minutes with lid on. *500g is roughly 3.8-4 cups of flour. The flour should be fluffed up, spooned into cup and levelled to ensure it’s as accurately measured as possible. Scales are always best! Use the tutorial as a guide for consistency of dough and adjust water/flour slightly if needed. Some tips! ▫️Wetting hands during stretch and folds can help to prevent the dough from sticking too much to your hand. ▫️The first time you make this bread, I suggest reducing the water in the recipe to 390ml when you initially mix the dough and then slowly add in the remaining 30ml if you feel the dough needs it to reach a similar consistency to my dough in the tutorial. Every brand of bread flour absorbs water differently and you don’t want a soupy dough for this type of bread! ▫️Cast iron pot or Dutch Oven should be at least 4.7 litres/ 5 quarts. Bigger than this is great too. Mine has no knob, so I load it into the shallow end. If yours has a knob, carefully lower the dough into the pot the normal way. ▫️You can bake this without a cast iron pot, but you’ll need to add steam to the oven to help it rise. I do this by placing loaf tin (9x5) filled with hot water in the bottom of the oven while it preheats. If baking without a pot, set oven temp to 230C/445F and bake with the steam for 30 mins. Remove steam, turn oven down to 210C/410F and finish baking for a further 10-15 mins.
