Instructions
| Steps | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. | Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large metal pot (make sure it has a fitting lid, and the dry ingredients should come up to less than a third of the height of the pot). ๐ฒ |
| 2. | Add the olive oil and give it a good mix. ๐ฅ |
| 3. | Gradually add enough warm water to create a soft, spoonable consistency. This is the magic of this breadโno kneading required, just mix it all together with a wooden spoon. ๐ฅ |
| 4. | If the mixture seems too liquid, add a touch more flour. It should stick to the spoon but be easy enough to mix. ๐ง |
| 5. | Put the lid on the pot and place it in a warm spot to let it rise. ๐ I like to set it outside in the sun on a warm day, or in the oven with a candle if it’s chilly outside. |
| 6. | When the mixture has doubled in volume (usually about 1-2 hours), it’s time to move on to the next step. ๐ |
| 7. | Spoon the mixture into two oven-proof dishes that you’ve generously oiled and floured to prevent sticking. ๐ฝ๏ธ |
| 8. | Let these loaves rise again in a cozy spot until they’ve doubled in volume once more. ๐ฑ |
| 9. | Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature. ๐ก๏ธ |
| 10. | Carefully place the loaves inside and let them bake until you can smell that irresistible bread aroma wafting through your kitchen. This usually takes about 45 minutes, but keep an eye on themโit can vary depending on your oven. ๐ |
| 11. | To check if they’re done, tap the top of the bread with a knife. If it sounds hollow, it’s time to take them out. ๐ |
| 12. | Turn the oven off and leave the loaves inside until everything cools down. I often leave them overnightโit helps the flavors develop even more. ๐ |
Tips & Variations
- For added interest, consider tossing in some roasted almonds or fried onions after the first rising. ๐ฅ๐ง
- Want a sweeter bread? Increase the sugar and toss in some dried fruit or bananas for a delightful twist. ๐๐ฌ
