Saxon Country Bread

• 491 g bread mix
• 9 g Instant-Yeast-Plus

• approx. 330 ml lukewarm water

• Place the bread mix into a bowl, mix the yeast in evenly whilst stirring, add the lukewarm water and knead the dough for at least 5 minutes using an electric mixer set at highest speed. Place the bowl in a warm location and allow the dough to rest for around 30 minutes. Then knead the dough hard, form it into a round or oval shape, or place it into a loaf tin (28 cms long) before leaving it for around 40 – 50 minutes in a warm place covered with a damp cloth whilst it rises.
• Cut into the top using a knife and top with flour, oat flakes or oil seeds.
• Preheat the oven to 220-230 °C and place a bowl with water into the oven. Start the bread off for around 10 minutes at 220-230 °C, then turn the oven down to 200 °C and bake for a further 45-50 minutes.
• Processing in your electric bread-maker:
  Place 330-340 ml water into the baking form, empty the packet of bread mix onto the water and spread the yeast over the bread mix. Continue as per normal baking process. Please adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the operation and safe use of the device.
