- Take out the dough and deflate it by punching it down lightly. Divide into 3 pieces and round off each piece. Rest for 20 minutes.
- When the dough has rested, punch each piece down lightly and roll out to about 20 x 25 cm. This is a very sticky dough, so flour your work surface, rolling pin etc. generously.
- Fold the dough in so that it overlaps a bit in the middle.
- Roll up from the end.
- Pinch the seams tightly closed.
- Line up the rolled dough in a greased bread pan towards one side. Leave for the 2nd rising. Start preheating the oven with the baking tray in to 160℃.
- The dough is done rising when the tops have risen a bit above the rim of the pan.
- Raise the oven temperature to 200°C and bake for 30 minutes. Once the top has become a dark golden brown, cover with a piece of aluminium foil to prevent it from getting too dark.
- When the bread is baked, drop the pan onto your counter from a height to push out the steam, take the loaf out and cook on a rack to finish.
- The crumb is finely textured, very moist and soft even the next day. It has a silky mouth feel. The bread doesn't get stale fast either. It's a substantial bread that fills you up.
