Baking for 4 people with common yeast. 

1. 6 dl Water (cold).

2. Yeast about 50 grams (crumble together with the water). Ingredients are mixed with a machine. Place the dough to rise in a container that is greased with oil so that the dough does not stick. Let ferment at room temperature to about double the size approximately. About 30 min-2 hours.

3. About 13 dl (about 800 grams) of wheat flour is filled in during the dough mixing (machine) until the dough does not stick and becomes a lump (not too hard).

4. 1.5 teaspoons salt.

5. Lay the baking sheet over.

6. Pour the dough onto a floured baking sheet (possibly baking paper) and divide it into three oblong pieces. Ferment a little more under a cloth if needed.

7. (Can possibly be cut if you want with scissors just before you put it in the oven).

8. Set the oven to a 250 ° C convection oven (275 ° C standard oven). Set the plate and turn about 1 dl of water on the oven bottom (have not tried with water in a convection oven (best with over and under heat (Note! Setting). Gives a crispy hard surface.

9. Let stand for 8 minutes (approx. 12 min ordinary oven) 10. Finished when the bread is light brown over the entire surface. The bread clear when browned and baked through on the underside and sounds dull when you turn it on.

Note! May need to be divided into quite a few pieces otherwise the breads will be too thick.
