ingredients:
- 250g flour
- 160ml of water
- yeast (you can buy that ready to use)
- 5g of salt
Preparation - 20 of work, 3 hours of waiting
- Mix the flour with the salt in a big bowl
- add the yeast. Do not allow the yeast to be in direct contact with the salt, if you have mixed well on step one you are good to go.
- Slowly add water and continue to mix. Put flour on your hands if the dough is too sticky. I use a little plastic scraper
- Continue to mix until you get a ball
- Keep the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth (or, less ecological, cling film) and let rise for 2h. The dough will more than double in size
- give some punches to your dough, this is fun
- Flour your hand and work the loaf again for 1-2 minutes
- Put the dough on a baking parchment. Cover with a damp cloth for a further hour
- pre heat the oven (no fan) at 230°C
- dust the top of your dough with some flour and cut a cross into it with a sharp knife
- Put 25 min in the oven reducing the temperature to 220°C
- Enjoy
