Before Proofing

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 3/4 cup
Wheat flour - 1/4 cup
Warm water - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1/2 tbsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Dry yeast -3/4 tsp
Olive oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

• In a bowl add yeast, sugar and warm water.
• Set this aside for yeast to activate.
• In other bowl add flour, salt and mix well.
• Add in activated yeast and mix well.
• Add in oil and knead well.
• The dough will be sticky.
• Add in some flour and knead till you get a soft dough.
• Spread it to a rectangle and roll it.
• Seam the edges.
• Place this in a lined baking tray.
• Set this aside for 30 mins for proofing.
• Make slashes o top of bread.
• Bake this in a preheated oven at 200 °C for  20 - 22 mins.
• When you place the tray for baking just place (throw) 2-3 icecubes at the bottom
• Close this  immediately.
• Doing this way, steam builds up and we will get a chewy crust.

Note:

• If your oven is big and has a bottom rack, then place a tray.
• Put the ice cubes in the bottom tray.
• I baked two logs, one I used 75% maida and 25% wheat flour.
• Other log I did vice-versa.
