Masa para pan (Bread dough)
« on: April 21, 2012, 10:44:57 am »
Name of Recipe:  Masa para pan (Bread dough)

[Having made this dough this morning, I found it very hard to shape.  This is due to the recipe having only 58% hydration, ie not enough water, so next time, I will try it with 400g water.  If you use salted butter, I would reduce the salt quantity in the dough.  However, in general the bread was good, crusty on the outside, with a nice soft, but twisted looking crumb]

Serves:  Makes a 1kg loaf

Ingredients:  
350g water
½ tsp sugar
40g fresh bread yeast
600g strong flour
2 tsps salt

Preparation:  
Pre-heat the oven to 225°
Put the water and the sugar into the  *: 2 minutes / 37° / Speed 2
Add the yeast, mix for a few seconds, incorporate the flour and salt 15-20 seconds / Speed 6
Next, knead 3 minutes / Speed  ^^
Remove the dough with oiled hands.
Shape as desired and leave to rise until double in size, covering it so that it does not form a crust
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
If you see that it is browning too much, reduce the temperature to 200°

 Origin:  This is a translation of a recipe in Thermomix TM31 – Imprescindible para tu cocina which is the book supplied with Spanish TMXs.
