Bread baking experiment 5

warm water ...10 table spoons.

Wait for 30 minutes.

Extra virgin olive oil... 1 teaspoons.

Mix.

Put in oiled baking tray over a tower over a kettle of hot water.

Wait for another 15 minutes.

Fluffy this time.   o(^.^)o 
Reason:
I used better sequence/procedures & temperature

Preheat oven.
Baked with Gas mark 6 for 45 minutes.
Upper rack nearer to the door.
Left it inside oven for 10 more minutes.
I was doing something else.

The crust is a bit too dry and hard.

Next time I shall reduce the baking time.

 

I searched www for the function of salt for baking bread.

- Taste.

- crust colour.

- Preserve.

- Tighten the texture of the gluten structure.

- Slow down yeast action.

Adding salt during different stages of preparation affect results.
Amount of salt is usually no more than 2% of toal flour weight.
 
Because this time I used a lot of dried mixed fruit
and I ate the bread the same day,
There is no great need for salt in this recipe.
