SERVINGS: 1 LOAF | PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES | BAKE TIME: 90 MINUTES

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the dough
Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer and knead for 5 minutes using the dough hook. -
Prepare the baking tin
Grease a 25 cm loaf pan (or similar) and pour in the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. -
Let it rise
Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. -

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE
For an extra-crispy crust, place an ovenproof bowl with water on the oven floor – or toss a handful of ice cubes on the floor of the oven when you put the bread in.
If you have a bit more time, try using only half the amount of yeast and let the dough rest for about 2 hours. It takes longer, but the result is even softer and easier to digest.
