Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Put the water and yeast in the mixing bowl and set 1 min/37°C/speed 2.
- Add the flour and salt and mix 20 sec/speed 6.
- Knead 4 min/closed bowl/dough mode.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and let it rise covered until doubled in volume, about 90 min.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured worktop and shape a loaf without fully degassing.
- Place on baking paper and let rise another 45 min.
- Make a few cuts on the surface with a sharp knife.
- Place a container with water in the oven to generate steam.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C for 35 min until it sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
- Let cool on a rack.
Tips
- The initial steam is key to a crispy crust.
- A long cold fermentation improves the flavour of the bread.
