Easy to remember recipe for a classic bread....crisp crust, slightly chewy centre...fabulous toasted and covered in butter !

cover and leave for 30 mins
add salt
Method
Mix and knead for 10 minutes until it passes the window pane test

Bake for about 30 minutes in a hot over (220c)...not forgetting to cut the dough to release the steam.

What is the "window pane test" mentioned in this recipe?

ReplyYou should be able to pull the dough and stretch between both thumbs and fore fingers (excuse the crude explanation) and stretch it thin enough without it tearing. If you can get the dough to hold enough to see through it,! It's a good indication that the gluten strands are strong enough and you've kneaded enough
