Ingredients

2 h 30 m
~500 g
  1. 450 gstrong bread flour
  2. 200 mlwater
  3. 1,5 tspdry yeast
  4. 1 tspsugar
  5. 1 tspsalt
  6. 2 tbspoil + 0,5 tsp to oil a bowl

Cooking Instructions

2 h 30 m
  1. 1

    To a lukewarm water (37-40°C) add sugar and yeast. Stir well and leave in a warm place until it gets bubbles on the top. Usually it takes 15-30 min

  2. 2

    Add oil and salt. Start adding sifted flour stirring well after every added portion. When mixture becomes too thick for a whisk transfer it to a working surface for kneading. Work it through for ~10 min: stretch, fold, beat to make yeast work.
    Dough shall be smooth and soft and not stick to hands.

  3. 3

    Shape dough as a ball, put into a slightly oiled bowl, cover with a cling film and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to rise. In 1 hour dough doubles

  4. 4

    Transfer dough into a working surface (I use a silicone dough mat) and slightly knead it just to let extra air out. Roll it out to a rectangle 1 cm thick. Then roll-up into a Bloomer shape. Put on a baking tray padded with non-stick paper, cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rest for 30 min.

  5. 5

    After that time you will find it risen and almost doubled in size.
    Make cuts with a sharp knife, brush a thin layer of milk over the top and put into a preheated to 180-190°C oven. In the oven bread will rise again so be sure it has enough space over it.

  6. 6

    After 30 min (my oven) Bloomer is ready. Take it out, take baking paper off, put on a grid, brush with milk while it's hot and leave to cool.
    Voilà!
