hi I'm Finn last year I won Junior wake up the winner of junior bake-off 2019 is Finn
I'm using my timer arm to protect my baking skills I love icing cakes making cakes icing
biscuits anything but especially I love making bread bread is absolutely amazing and with a few
simple ingredients it can make things like this why don't you wash your hands get all of your
ingredients and a large mixing bowl you'll need 500 grams of plain our strong flour 2 teaspoons
of salt 2 teaspoons of sugar and 14 grams of yeast 2 packets also need 40 grams of olive oil
and 320 milliliters of warm water so just add the flour into the bowl I'm also going to add
my 2 teaspoons of salt just gonna get the yeast and just add all of it into the water and grass
we're going to add our sugar and then we're just gonna give it a mix grab a piece of cling film
and just wrap it around the top leaving it for 5 minutes until it starts to bubble up that's
the sign that we know that the yeast is alive and it's working well now we can add it to the
flour with the olive oil and mix it until you have a nice dough continue to give that a mix
and then just slowly keep adding more of the water so it's starting to clump a little bit now where
the flours getting hydrated then just continue to just mix this until it's all incorporated you can
do this with a stand mixer if you won this will be the dough hook however I'm just going to show
you how to do this by hand the old way so this is the stage way you can see what the dough is
like a little bit it should just be like quite sticky it's quite fun to play with at the minute
push once you've got the dough onto the work surface give it a bit of a knead using the palm
of your hands to wash it over itself and just use your full body weight just to really press down on
the dough and just turn it once you've pushed it away from you we're just kneading this to create
enough gluten so that when the yeast starts to make bubbles of carbon dioxide the gluten strong
enough stuff trap it and keep hold of it you have like a really nice structure in your bread
and just to check when it's ready rip a little bit of dough up so I like making a really small pizza
stretch it and pull it and you should be able to see through it when it's ready pour about a
tablespoon of oil into the bowl and just spread it about with your hands just so when the dough Rises
it doesn't stick place it into the bowl press it down a little bit and then just flick it over
cover it with cling film and leave it in a warm place for an hour I'm going to show you how to
shape it but first I've got to knock the door back this is my favorite part because you just really
sighs fine to watch get your dough smoothing out the top side of it it's a nice shaped ball you can
either leave it as that or you can just sort of rock it back on cloth just to create like an oval
sort of flow so once you've got the shape that you want just grab a little bit of flour and just dust
it on the track transfer it over and leave this to prove a half an hour the bread has finished
its second proof it's doubled in size the other thing we need to do now is just some flour on
the top and score the bread with a really really sharp knife make sure you ask them a lot to help
you do it got a tray here with a little bit of water in it this will just create some steam in
the oven which will help the bread get a really good crust on it so I'm just placing this in the
oven now that's been preheated at 200 degrees and it's going to go in for about 30 to 35 minutes
my breads come out the oven now and one way to check that it's done is to tap the base
of the bread and if it sounds Hollow then it's done leave this on a cooling rack to
cool down until it's about room temperature and that's how to make a delicious loaf of bread
I don't know about you I have an ice pretty good and I think you should try at home too
