Cooking Instructions

**Dutch Oven OR Substitutes***
If you have a Dutch Oven, you are lucky. Dutch Oven seems to be the best tool for baking this rustic bread. I used ALDI’s cast-iron casserole pot. You can use an oven-safe metal pot & lid, a high heat oven-safe casserole dish with lid or covered with foil, or something you can cover to trap the moisture. - 2
Place Plain Flour, Dry East and Salt in a large bowl, and mix well to blend evenly.
- 3
Add Warm Water and stir using a spoon or spatula. It is a very soft and gooey dough. Don't try to knead it. When the dough comes together, cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 4
After 30 minutes, it is still very soft and sticky. Wet your hand with water, grab an edge of the dough, lift and bring it to the centre. Repeat several times. Cover and rest again.
- 5
Repeat this process every 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times, before you go to bed. This process makes the dough elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and leave it somewhere safe and it won't get too cold overnight.
- 6
In the morning, after 10 to 12 hours later, the dough should look bubbly. The dough is still very soft and sticky, but do not wet your hand this time. Dusting the edges of the dough with flour, carefully turn onto a well floured surface and bring the edges to centre to shape into a cob.
- 7
Turn it over, so that the folded side faces down. Place the dough in a well floured bowl or proofing basket. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- 8
Line the bottom of the pot with a piece of baking paper.
- 9
After 30 minutes, place the pot in the oven and preheat to 240℃. This means the dough will rest for extra time until the oven gets hot.
- 10
Take the very hot pot out of the oven, take off the lid, turn the dough into the pot, so that the folded side now faces up, put the lid back on, and bake for 30 minutes.
- 11
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for 5 minutes or until nicely brown. Take the bread out very carefully and cool on wire rack.
- 12
*Alternatively, bake on a baking tray, with/without boiling water in an oven-safe dish on the bottom of the oven, at 190℃ for 40 minutes. The below picture is the result of this method.

I wanted to make freshly cooked naan at home, so I cam up with this recipe.Please be sure to bake the naan on the at a high temperature. It will be nicely browned, as delicious as authentic Indian naan is. For the all purpose flour, use Lys d'Or or a flour that is specifically meant for French-style bread. If you can't get all purpose flour, use half each of cake and bread flours.I added baking powder to the recipe to improve it. If you don't have any though, you can just omit it. Recipe by douce_mika

Bread Bread
We ran out of bread but it's a long line at the supermarket. Our city is still in community quarantine. I have to make bread. I have no bread flour so I used all purpose flour instead. I also don't have a loaf pan so I just used a tray. I also tried putting a simple slash design on the loaf but it didn't work 😅

Bread Maker Rice & Rye Flour Bread Bread Maker Rice & Rye Flour Bread
I wanted to make bread in a bread maker using healthy ingredients!! So I used amazake instead of sugar, omitted unnecessary ingredients and made this using simple ingredients.-When adding the rice and rye flour, pour in the center to make into a mountain.-Add the amazake, salt, and water to the corners of the case not to disturb the flour mountain.-If you try to cut the bread while it's still warm, it'll basically be like mochi, it'll stick to the knife and you won't get a clean cut.

Oil-Free Miso Bread with Cake Flour Oil-Free Miso Bread with Cake Flour
A user taught me that you can make the best bread using cake flour by not including too many ingredients. Since the gluten content is also low if you add too much to the dough it just weighs it down. So when I thought about cutting down on the extra ingredients I figured I could use whatever I had at home. Checking the fridge I discovered miso, and figured that fermented foods are good for you. That's how this bread came to be.The moisture of the miso varies, so add it carefully while keeping that in mind. This is my personal preference, but since I like the bottom of the bread to have a nice baked color and be crispy, I bake them with that intent. I also like the aroma of the miso. Recipe by Ryouko -

Bread Dough with Whole Wheat Flour Bread Dough with Whole Wheat Flour
Feel healthier with this delicious bread recipe that uses only whole wheat flour. You can make many different kinds of deli bread with this dough, so it's convenient.Course Black Pepper: if you have it, use it. When letting the bread machine knead the dough, if you add in all of the ingredients into the machine at once, the bread will tend to get stale a lot more quickly.As for the flour, I used Super Camellia brand (please adjust the amount of water added, according to the type of flour used. Domestic bread flours won't need as much water.) Recipe by DUFFYchan -
