Yeast-risen bread from Lateral Cooking: One Dish Leads to Another (page 44) by Niki Segnit

  • instant yeast
    Instant yeast appears similar to active dry yeast, but has smaller granules with substantially higher percentages of live cells per comparable unit volumes. It is more perishable than active dry yeast, but also does not require rehydration, and can usually be added directly to all but the driest doughs. Instant yeast generally has a small amount of ascorbic acid added as a preservative. (Wikipedia) Buy Now

    I wanted to pick a bread recipe that I could start to make regularly and perfect, as opposed to flitting about between lots of different recipes, so this one seemed like the perfect starting point. It was very easy to make, especially as I did the kneading in my mixer with a bread hook. The texture was great, the only thing I'd say is that it was a bit bland - more salt next time, and/or try some of the 'extras' suggested by the recipe. Also the shape was quite rustic, would be good to try it in a tin.
