Fresh bread

#easyfoodcreations #healthyeating #bread #masterchefaustralia

I watched Master Chef Australia the other day and Chef Matt Preston was demonstrating a very simple bread recipe. The bread looked fantastic so I had to try it.

This recipe is enough to create one loaf of bread. You can use it to make buns as well, just keep in mind that they need to be baked for 30 min. Do not bake both together as your bread might not come out right if you open the oven before baking time is over.

Ingredients
1.5 t salt
1t dry yeast
500g flour (I used high gluten unbleached white flour; i used bread flour; the other time I used 200g rye flour and 300g white flour and it worked great too. The best result was with hard bread flour but all of them were very comparable)
475ml warm water
Optional - 0.5c Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds 

1. Mix all ingredients with a spatula.
2. Cover with a clink film and put it in the fridge overnight.
3. In the morning, preheat the oven to 220c.
4. Dust generously a flat baking pan with flour.
5. Mix the dough couple of times and place it on the dusted  baking sheet or pan. 
6. Bake for 40 minutes. 
7. Enjoy!
