Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 20 grams fresh yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 250 ml milk (warm)
  • 300 grams wheat flour (strong)
  • 100 grams german wheat flour
  • 100 grams pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons potato flakes (organic)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch of ascorbic acid (fat pinch, this is the powder form of Vitamin C and makes the bread loose)
  • 1 tablespoon gluten (from an organic shop, improves the quality of the flour). (The latter two can be omitted)

Method

  1. First mix the yeast, half of the milk and a little sugar and a tbsp flour in a bowl and let it rise.
  2. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl, add the yeast mixture and knead. I did it with the KA, it's a very hard dough. I had to add an additional 100 ml milk but it depends on the quality of the flour. In the end I kneaded it by hand for a minute then put the dough in a bowl, covered it and let it rise for 1 hour.
  3. After the hour knead the dough quickly, then roll out and roll up (like a Swiss roll without filling).
  4. Put it in a baking bag, cut it with a knife and let it rise for another hour.
  5. Make a few holes on the bag.
  6. Bake in preheated oven (200C or 180C for fan) for 50-55 minutes and immediately remove from bag. It has a wonderful texture!
