Recipe for BREAD (maximum amount of dough):

Ingredients:GB

1.3 kg flour

700 g water

25 g salt

50 g fresh baker’s yeast or 4 sachets dried yeast powder.

Method:

Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.

Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).

Make a small well in the mound of flour.

Pour in the water and yeast mixture.

Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes, until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.

Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Place the bowl in the oven, set to 40° using the LOW TEMPERATURE manual function, and leave to rise for approximately 30–45 minutes. Alternatively, leave at room temperature for approximately 1 hour (until the dough has doubled in volume).

Break up the dough, kneading gently, and divide it to create several loaves.

Place them on a sheet of baking paper (cut to the same size as the inside of the dripping pan) on top of the rack (or on 2 or 3 racks if you wish to cook the loaves on different shelves) and dust them lightly with flour.

Make a few incisions in the top using a sharp blade.

Place the rack in the oven, on shelf level 2 if using only one level, or place two racks on shelf levels 1 and 4 if using two levels, or place three racks on shelf levels 1, 3 and 5 if using three levels.

Place the dripping pan on shelf level 7 and pour in 150 g cold water.

Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

Start the automatic function BREAD.

When the cooking process has finished, leave the loaves to rest on the rack until they have completely cooled.
