  • I work with the following recipe and method and it's fail safe...

    600g Decent White Bread Flour
    7g Instant Yeast
    14g Salt
    445ml Water

    Mix it all up in the evening and cover (I use a big tupaware).

    Then following morning I put a cast iron dish in the oven on full wack (270 for me). Whilst that's heating I shape and prove the loaf (I leave it for 50 mins whilst the oven gets the pan super hot). I then put the loaf inside the hot cast iron pan and bake for 40 mins at 240 with the lid on.

    It's super easy and aside from a few minutes in the evening and a few minutes shaping the next morning it's no effort. Baking paper can be useful in getting the shaped loaf into the hot pan.

    The only essential bits of kit are a proofing basket and a cast iron pan (with lid)
