Leklue Silicone Bread Maker White Baguette

 



Ingredients. 

400g White Bread Flour

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Instant Yeast

1 tsp Sugar

1 tsp Olive Oil

250g 40 degrees C Water

 

Method.

Place all the dry ingredients into the bread maker and mix thoroughly. I use a silicone spatula for this as it works brilliantly. Bought cheaply from the Crazy Store.

Add the Olive Oil and Water and using the spatula combine until well mixed. Takes a few minutes.

Close the bread maker and cover either with cling film or I use a plastic shower cap, also from the Crazy Store and leave overnight or a minimum of 8 hours to prove, opening it up at least an hour before baking and shaping it into a baguette loaf shape using the spatula again and also cut a line into the top with a very sharp blade. I use a carpet cutter for this.

Place the closed bread maker in a 200 degree C oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes take the loaf out of the bread maker and return it upside down into the oven for around 8 minutes for the bottom to crisp up. It should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom to determine when it is ready.

Allow to cool for 20 minutes on a wire rack.

Last Note. I have an expensive Lekue silicone bread maker and I have just seen some on Takealot's site for about a third of what I paid. There are also two of them included the deal.
