What does “bake with steam” mean?
It’s ether setting in your oven or you can create the steam by placing tray under the loaf, filled with hot boiling water.
buenas tardes en total seria 500 gramos de harina?
Can we store the final dough in the freezer before bake it in the oven? How do you suggest ?
You can proof it halfway, then move it to fridge and bake next day. But let it warm up first before baking
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your recipe, I’m currently trying it out.
I wonder what is the “bake with steam” for?
If I bake without using it, will it make any difference?
Thank you
Have a nice day.
Hi!
Steam will make cryst little thicker . Without steam crust will remain soft.
Thank so much for your information.
Have a great day 🙏
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Does the bread store well in the freezer if we wanted to make a large batch and store it? Thanks!
Hi!
Yes!
Just let it cool down completely.
Hello! I tried with spelt bread flour and I had to adjust the water amount for the sponge. Added between 50-70 ml of water extra. Otherwise it was way too tight. Let’s see if it works..
That was smart, because spelt flour requires more water, then regular flour.
I was motivated to bake this bread yesterday for my children since they love to eat toast from the shop. They say mine is better and all of a bread is already gonne. Now I’m gonna do 1 and 1/2 of measurement. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe ❤️
How do we bake with steam at home? I’m new to baking bread and haven’t come across this method yet so any info is appreciated !
I do one of these options:
– put ice cubes on preheated baking tray and put it under tray with bread ;
– pur boiled water in a preheated bowl or tray (my favorite);
– spray massively oven inside (on the sides) with a water spray (like the one for flowers) and a bit on bread itself. I use it mostly as additional moisturizer not like the main.
The bread is amazing. I have just cooked it again. That is my second time. Easy and tasty! Added to my bread recipies list. Thank you so much for great recipy and guidance!
Oops I accidentally put 7 gr of yeast , my scale keeps turning off , do I start all over ?
No need to start over! You can simply adjust the other ingredients in your recipe to account for the extra yeast. Since yeast helps with the rising of the dough, having a bit more may result in a slightly faster rise time or a stronger yeast flavor in the final product. Just keep an eye on the dough as it proofs and adjust your baking time accordingly. Happy baking!
