Toasting bread

Preparation time 2 hours and 20 minutes Share

What is it that distinguishes toasting bread from other bread? Its softness, of course. The distinctive composition of toasting bread comes from being baked in a water basin, since you put in the oven the dough mould and oven-safe bowl of boiling water at the same time. Why buy soft toasting bread in the store when you can make it at home? Check out this recipe and make your own toasting bread, which will combine so delightfully in your mouth with your favourite Argeta that soon you’ll know the recipe by heart.

240 ml warm water

3. Mix the 1.5 tsp of salt and 460 g of flour into a large bowl and make a hollow in the centre.

4. Pour in the yeast starter and mix.

5. We recommend using a blending machine for kneading, since it will do the job more quickly and with less effort. It’s harder to handle this dough manually because it’s stickier.

6. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then knead into it little pieces of softened butter.

7. Knead the dough for another 5 minutes.

8. Cover the bowl with a shower cap or damp kitchen towel and put it in a warm spot, so the dough doubles in volume while rising – for about 1 hour.

Shaping and baking

1. Shake out the dough onto a surface dusted with flour.

2. Using your fingers, press the dough into a rectangle as long as the bread mould and 2 cm thick.

3. Shape it into a cylindrical roll and place it in the bread baking tin.

4. Cover the tin and wait 30 minutes for the dough to rise.

5. In the meantime, heat the oven to 180°C.

6. Boil water in a pan.

7. Place the dough tin and oven-safe bowl of boiling water in the oven at the same time.

8. Bake this way for 10 minutes, then remove the water and bake it for another 15-20 minutes.

9. In this way the toasting bread is baked for a total of 25-30 minutes.

10. After baking, take the toasting bread out of the baking tin and let it cool on a rack.
