350 g stone-ground white flour

1 tsp fine-grain salt

25 g fresh brewer's yeast

300 ml lukewarm water

flour

Step by step

  1. Making home-baked bread is simpler than you might think, especially when you have the kneading power of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer and the special "Rising" function of the Twelix Artisan Oven. Using both these appliances, dough rises in only 90 minutes and you get fragrant, crunchy bread in about two hours. The constant temperature maintained by the oven throughout the rising period and the kneading power of the Stand Mixer makes waiting for a second rising unnecessary. These steps can be used for a number of different recipes.

  2. Place both flours and the salt in the bowl of the Stand Mixer and attach the dough hook. Run the Mixer on minimum speed to thoroughly blend.

  3. In another bowl, dissolve the brewer’s yeast in the water. The water must be lukewarm because if it's too hot or too cold, it could inhibit or slow the rising process. Pour the water with the yeast into the Mixer bowl with the dough hook attached and the mixer running. Next, gradually increase the mixer speed to 8. You may need to add a little more water and a tablespoon of flour.

  4. Turn off the mixer and detach the dough hook. Transfer the dough to a glass bowl and activate the oven's special “Rising” function. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and put it on the middle shelf of the oven. Allow to rise for 90 minutes.

  5. After the dough has risen, remove it from the oven and select the “Traditional Bread” professional bakery function. Punch down the dough on a floured work surface and shape it into a loaf. Make a cut in the shape of a cross on the top and sprinkle with flour. Place in the oven and bake for 33 minutes.
