- Turn the mixer onto 2 speed or medium, knead for 8 minutes.
- Cover the mixer bowl and set aside to prove for 1 hour.
- Take the dough out and knock back, taking all the excess gasses out of the dough. Size into desired shapes, place onto a pan with baking sheet or into moulds. Let proof for 30 minutes. Preheat a conventional oven to 200’c. Before adding bread into the oven, splash some water in, this will generate steam.

- Once cooling, brush with a mixture of melted butter and milk.
- Allow to cool and rest. Then enjoy!
