HOME MADE ITALIAN WHITE BREAD (WITH A BREAD MACHINE )

Finally we got a bread machine! We chose a Bomann c594 and a few days ago we found a second hand one for  a very good price. After going to Trinitat Nova to pick it up we were ready to start experimenting with it.
At the beginning we were a little bit scared because we had read on the Internet that at the beginning it is hard to familiarise with the procedure and that the first 30 breads are uneatable whether because it does not rise, its underdone or because it taste of yeast...
I think we had read so much information about the possible problems and solutions that a bread may have that mysteriously we skip all the testing and error part and we were very surprised (and happy) with the result !!



INGREDIENTS
- 570 ml Water
-1 + 1/2 tsp salt
- 1+ 1/2 tbp olive oil
-1 + 1/2 tsp sugar
- 650 gr normal flour
-150g corn semolina (polenta)
- 1 packes fresh yeast

PROCEDURE

As simple as putting all the ingredient in following the order above.It is super important to put first the water and the yeast on the top because when they meet starts the rising.

We chose the Sandwich program, mid brown and big size. It takes around 2h.

TIPS WE HAVE LEARNED

- Remove a little bit of water or add more flour during the kneading (The dough should look like a ball and do not stick to much on the walls)
- Do not open the lid after the kneading, otherwise the dough will go down and may not rise again
- Spray the dough with water to get a darker brown
- If your bread does not grow enough try to substitute the normal flour for "Harina de fuerza"
- You can remove the spares to avoid the ugly hole on the bottom ( do it quickly before the baking)

We will report you on our progress :)
