Recipe suggested by : Francine – Solar oven:
parabolic type, SunGlobe – Preparation time: 10 minutes – Baking time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1kg organic multigrain flour
- 2 tbsp salt
- 80 cl warm water
- 1 sachet baker’s yeast
Preparing the organic bread recipe
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
- Pour the yeast into the warm water and add to the flour a little at a time, stirring well.
- Knead by hand, adding a little flour to prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers, for 5 minutes.
- Leave to stand for 2 hours.
- Place the bread dough in a 24 cm-diameter pan for 2? hours in the sun in a medium-hot oven.
Advice
After 1? hours of cooking, turn the pan to 190°.
After baking for 2 hours, open and prick into the dough with a round-tipped knife. If the dough sticks to the knife, cook longer.
Tips
Making the same loaf in a smaller pan reduces cooking time to around 1h30.
To prevent the top of the bread from darkening, cover the glass lid with a cotton cloth (very important, otherwise the synthetics will burn) at half-time.
Result: the bread is excellent, with a crisp brown crust.
