Equipment
- 1 Bucket of Pizza Dough Premix
- 1 Baking Tray / Bread Tin
Materials
- 1 Bucket Premix
- 450 ml Warm Water
Instructions
- Add yeast (included) and 400 ml of lukewarm tap water (±45°C) to the premix inside the bucket.
- Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth dough.
- Remove the lid and use a spatula to gently fold the dough over ±12 times in the bucket.
- Close the bucket.
- When the dough rises to the top of the bucket for a second time, open it and fold the dough over again ±12 times in the bucket.
- When the dough rises to the top of the bucket a 3rd time, turn the bucket on its side and remove the dough onto a dusted work surface/ baking tray.

- Stretch both ends of the dough into a longer French loaf shape.
- If desired, cut the dough with the scraper into 2 smaller loaves or into about 6-8 panini rolls.
- Bake at 220°C for ± 25 min, (pre-heated) or longer depending on how well-baked you like your bread.
Notes
Remember to pre-heat your oven and allow bread dough to rise in a warm place. Rising times may vary. Use some flower or oil to make dough less sticky. Bake on baking tray or bread pan.
