I still remember during my first day of lesson I'm still quite worry, scare and excited about it. Worry and scare is because I have never make bread before not sure if I can do it a not ? Excited is definitely because I get to bake and learn new thing and make new friend.
First lesson we learn how to make No Knead Bread/White Bread.
As you can see from the picture above that's the ingredients we use and on the right is the step and process of doing it. I didn't expect that with just this four simple ingredients we can make a bread .
Picture below is taken after the final proof and ready for baking.
No Knead Bread / White Bread ;
Ingredients :
- Bread Flour - 250g
- Yeast - 4g
- Salt - 5g
- Water at 35℃ - 162g
Method :
- Place sieved flour, salt and yeast into a small mixing bowl
- Weigh the water ( tap will do for this dough * to achieve 35℃ at home you may at some ice cube in the water stir it till the temperature turn 35℃ * )
- Pour the water onto the flour and mix until all is incorporated. ( You may mix it manually.)
- Round it up to a ball and leave it in the bowl and cover with cling wrap.
- Allow to stand for at least 1 hour for first fermentation to take place
- Take the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured table and gently form into a ball shape. ( Boule). ( Divide it into two and round it )
- Give another intermediate proofing for at least 10 - 20 minutes
- Shape it and round it properly
- Place onto a suitable baking tray, cover with a damp cloth or a plastic sheet and allow to ferment for up to 1 - 2, hour ( dough will raise in size is be at least half as big again). test dough reediness by a gentle press with your finger so it springs back.
- Dust the dough piece with flour and score with as Sharpe knife.
- Finally Place into hot oven, bake at 215 - 220℃. Baking time will be approx, 30 - 35 minutes. Until it turn brown to check the bread is bake the bread temperature after baking should be at 96℃ if not give another 5 - 10 minutes bake.
