Equipment

  • 4 Casserole dishes (diameter 170cm, depth 70cm)

Ingredients
  

  • 900 grams high protein bread flour (for dough)
  • 100 grams high protein bread flour (for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
  • 700 ml water (warm)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour in a large bowl
  • Add the salt and the yeast
  • Mix it all together
  • Add the warm water to the mixture, now mix it well until you have a gooey dough.
  • To another bowl add the olive oil around the inside.
  • Transfer the dough to the new bowl. Cover and let sit in a warm place until it doubles in size. (usually 1 - 2 hours, but depends on the temperature)
  • Once doubled, place some flour on your bench and tip your dough onto it. Then sprinkle some more flour on top.
  • Fold the dough 4-5 times and then divide it into equal pieces
  • Once you have separate pieces of dough, add some more flour to each piece.
  • Make sure you have flour on your hands - fold the dough pieces again 4-5 times and then shape it into a nice round ball. Add more flour to the dough as you need, to help create a nice smooth texture on the outside. (My dough balls end up around 400 grams each)
  • Cover the dough balls with a towel and let them sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place your casserole dishes into the oven (or anything with a lid that is a good size and is oven friendly) and then pre heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
  • Carefully remove your casserole dishes, and sprinkle some more flour onto the bottom.
  • Place your dough balls inside and sprinkle some more flour on the top.
  • Place your dishes back into the oven and cook with the lid on for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the lid and allow to cook for another 15 minutes to brown up.
  • Once it done, carefully take out the oven and let the bread rest before cutting.
  • Cut a lid at the top of the bread
  • Slowly slice around the inside
  • Remove the inside of the bread
  • Add your desired food to the bread
  • Serve and enjoy!
