Name of Recipe: Pan de Agua (Water Bread). This is an adaptation for Thermomix from the recipe by Xavier Barriga in his book Pan (ISBN 8425343267). It is an extremely wet dough (120% hydration) but the beauty of this is that it does not require kneading.
Number of People: 1kg loaf
Ingredients:
600g mineral water
10g fresh yeast or 5g dried yeast
500g very strong bread flour, eg Waitrose Very Strong Canadian Bread Flour
12g salt
Preparation:
Place all of the ingredients, excluding the salt into the TM and process for 10-15 seconds / Speed 6 until you have a smooth batter.
Leave to rest in the jug for about 2 hours, by which time it should have risen substantially.
Add the salt and mix for a few seconds / Speed 6 to ensure that the salt is evenly incorporated.
Grease a 1kg loaf tin with oil - groundnut oil is best as it has a high smokepoint.
Pour the dough into it (it should fill about three-quarters of the tin).
Allow to prove for 1 hour, covered.
Meanwhile, place a tray or pan of boiling water in the bottom of the oven.
Switch on the oven to its highest temperature.
When the dough has finished proving, sprinkle with flour, put it in the oven and reduce the temperature to 190° C (375° F - gas 5), [fan oven 170° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour].
Bake for 60 minutes.
Once baked, turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.
If the bread is a little soft on the bottom, turn it over, place on a baking tray and return to the oven for 10 minutes or so until crisp.

Tips/Hints: The picture shown is one that I took in August and you will find that the above method will give a more closed texture. In the past, I have started the dough the night before with all of the water and yeast and half the flour and made the bread the following morning. The reason I did not do that this time was because I was worried about leaving it in the TM for so long as the instruction book states that the blade should not be soaked and that is in effect what I would be doing.
As this is a wet dough, I would recommend that you line your bread tin with Bake-O-Glide, or something similar if it is not non-stick.

Yes, horrid dental surgery. On a soft diet for some weeks while the implant takes and the bone graft in my jaw heals.

Amanda I cringe reading about it.
JB it does look an interesting recipe. I love trying new breads.

Poor you Amanda. I hope you are not in too much pain, sounds awful. :(
Cookie, I'd be interested to hear how the bread comes out if you make it. I have had different results every time with it!

Jan, I love your comment about aging 20 years. My DD is 17 next month and I feel about 90 ...

Good luck with the implants Fundji. I'm a week into my first one and a bone graft in my lower jaw. The implant doesn't hurt now, but it feels very weird and eating is almost more trouble than it's worth - certainly not the pleasure it was. The bone graft site is taking a while to settle and is quite uncomfortable at the moment. Not sure if all is as it should be there. ???
-
Aaaargh, sounds awful!

Hope all you girls having dental work are going to be fine for Christmas. Are you mainly on a liquid diet Amanda?

I hear you JB. DS1 turns 18 in January and has turned the corner into a mostly lovely young man but DS2 turns 13 in 2 weeks and we are seeing the start of the terrible teens. Not sure I want to go through it again :(
