There is also the way that my friend Linda does it…
Bread comes out great with hand kneading, but what I did the past six months (since reading an article in theTimes) is that once I mix it I cover and leave for ten minutes…then knead abit..cover..go back after ten minutes and knead a bit more…then cover and go back after another ten minutes and bash it once again!! That makes the hand process a lot easier! Then after the final kneading just put it in a bowl that you first oil with a bit of olive oil …then cover and let it rise. In London at the moment that takes anything from an hour and a half to two hours….and then when you shape it I discovered that it is best to let it prove for a full half hour before baking….but in warmer climates you would get away with less I think.
She makes it with exceptional results…hope this helps!
Where is the order form!? 🙂
Happy Birthday Georgina! 🙂 Looks like Kevin pulled out all the stops for this one. It’s a nice site and I look forward to seeing it grow.
