Ingredients

White wheat flour450 g
Salt1.5 tsp
Warm water380 ml
Dry yeast1 sachet
Activated carbon2 tsp

Tools

Parchment paper

Cast-iron pot with a lid

Dough scraper

Procedure

Dough:

Dissolve the activated carbon in warm water.
Mix the flour, dry yeast and salt in a bowl.
Pour in the water with carbon and just stir with a wooden spoon to make a homogeneous mixture – do not knead the dough.
Cover the bowl tightly with cling film, put it in a warm place and leave the dough to rise for two hours.

Preparing the baking dish:

Place the cast-iron pot with its lid in the oven and heat at 220ºC for one hour.

Shaping and baking:

Place the dough onto a thoroughly flour-dusted surface.
Using a dough scraper, shape the dough into a loaf by pulling the ends of the dough from the bottom and pressing them into the middle of the top, repeating the process on all sides of the dough.
Transfer the loaf onto parchment paper.

Carefully take the heated pot from the oven, place the parchment paper and the loaf inside and immediately cover it again.
Bake the bread with activated carbon at 220ºC for 30 minutes in a covered pot and for another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered.
After baking, transfer the bread to a wire rack and leave it to cool.
