How to store homemade bread

Once you have made the bread it will be the freshest for two days. Make sure to keep the bread in an air tight container or bag. The bread should last for up to 5 days. If you would like to store it longer, then pop it in the freezer for up to 1 month. When you come to use it, simply leave it to defrost fully and you can also pop it in the oven. I would suggest 160C for about 10 mins just to warm it through.

About the bread recipe

In my bread recipe you will see many percentages, these are know as the Bakers Percent.

Baker’s percent is a mathematical method widely used in baking to calculate the amounts of ingredients. Instead of dividing each ingredient’s weight by the total formula weight, bakers divide each ingredient by the weight of flour. Learn more here.

This will allow you to adjust the quantity to make more or less, easier.

  • After 30 minutes, stretch the dough for 10 times. Use a wet hand (see note) to lift a portion of the dough up from the side and fold it into the middle and press with your knuckles. Turn the bowl 90° clockwise and lift another portion of the dough up from the side and fold it into the middle and press with your knuckles. Turn the ball of dough over in the bowl cover with a wrap or plastic bag.

  • Shape each piece in to a small ball, use the outside edge of your hand to roll the dough in the other hand. This should stretch the top and give it a smooth look. Then at the bottom you want to pinch the dough together to seal the ball. Allow to rest for 15 minutes, cover with wrap or plactic bag.
    roll the dough into the ball
  • Dust your work surface with a little flour, spread out each ball and push the air out gently. Then shape again, making sure the surface of the dough is tight and smooth. Pinch the bottom together.  Then line up on the tray give each ball has 1cm space. Let it rest in a warm place for around 30 to 60 minutes or until it doubles in size. Cover with wrap or plastic bag.
    Make dough into ball again
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, egg wash on the top of the bread.
    Preheat the oven to 210°C, then bake in 190°C for 15 minutes or until top of bread is golden brown. Once you have removed the bread from the oven, give the tray a gentle tap on the work surface. This will allow any extra steam or moisture to escape and stop it being trapped inside.

  • Move the bread on the rack to cool down.

Notes

Wet your hand before you stretch the dough, then it will not stick on your hand. 
If the dough starts to resist and starts to tear, apply less pressure to the dough as you knead. Also , if you can only stretch the dough 10 times before it starts to resist (making it difficult to continue kneading), then stop. 
How to Finger Test: Dust your finger with flour, and gently poke it into the dough, if the dough retains the finger hole when you pull your finger away, it is ready. If the dough springs back, let it rest longer. If the dough collapses then it has been rested too long.
The Surface: Once the finger test is done, put the smooth side of the dough down. When you create the balls the smooth side of the dough will be on the outside.
