Today I made fresh bread it was really fun you can make loads of shapes with them.
Here is my turtle bread:
This is how you make bread at home.
You will need:
(Yields 16 rolls)
- 500g strong flour
- 30g melted butter
- 10g salt
- 20g yeast
- 300ml water
- 20g sugar
For decorations:
- Poppy seeds
- Onion
- Olives
- Sesame seeds
- Rolled Oats
- Hard cheese grated
- Sun - dried tomatoes
Method:
- Sieve Flour and put it into a round bottom bowl ( if you don't have one a bowl big enough will do but it makes it much easier.)
- Make a well in the flour, add tepid water and melted butter.
- Crumble the yeast in with fingers, if hands are sticky wash them and dry well before you start kneading.
- Use a scraper to mix together, then knead for 10 - 15 minutes. To know when your dough is done press 2 fingers into dough and the print should hold for a few seconds.
- Work into a round ball, cover with cling film & put into oven at 36°C - 40°C for 10 mins. Or you can put a kitchen towel on top of bowl and leave out for 2 hours till the dough doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C - 200°C
- Make sure you have a clean surface before you split your dough into equal amounts. This is called sealing, split your dough to 45-50g each.
- Mould your dough into shape
- Put into oven for 12-15 mins.
MMMMM bread...
