Wonderful Danmon, they look great I have just got that book so glad it see its worth it

[danmon_81]

just got back from a walk, had a taste, and i can say that my buns are firm yet spongy and have a nice crust!!!

in all seriousness this recipe (which i know is simple and pretty standard) has produced the best loafs i've ever made, this could become a weekly thing...no point buying bread when homemade tastes this good!

sundried tomato foccacia is delicious too!

What a lovely pair of Crusty Buns ya have there, nice with some real butter on them...none of this sunflower, rape seed, can't believe it stuff.

the missus says you should all stop looking at my Buns!!!!!
(But i dont mind)

1kg strong white flour
10g dried yeast
600ml warm water
drop of olive oil
20g salt

ok...in the style of Gordon Ramsay......

1. mix
2. knead for 10mins
3. shape into round
4. leave...let rise...45mins
5. turn out dough
6. press down with finger tips
7. shape
8. oven...cook...full wack...10mins
9. turn down oven to 180....10mins
10. cool
11. butter
12. eat..........>Done


...in all seriousness, i think the key is firstly love...make sure you love your buns ....second put a tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven whilst it cooks....and dont open the oven for the 1st 10mins.
