No Sugar Artisan Bread

Ingredients
2 cups of bread flour
1 cup of very warm water (not boiling)
1/2 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp active yeast
melted butter + white sesame (optional)

Roasted garlic & spring onion butter spread

• mix soft salted butter with roasted chopped garlic and spring onion

Directions

• add the salt and yeast to the warm water in a big bowl
• add in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand till evenly mixed... it will be sticky
• cover it with clingwrap or if the bowl comes with a cover, leave a small gap for air to escape and leave it to rise for 2 hours (it should double in size)
• flour your hand to handle the dough and divide into 2 equal portions
• round the dough and place it on a parchment paper (or grease the tray) and leave to proof for another 40min
• after 40min, pre-heat the oven to 170-180°C
• brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle white sesame (optional as I find the sesame don't stick well)
• score the dough on the sides and top
• bake for 30 minutes with a water tray at the bottom
• after 30 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the door of the oven open for 15-30 mins 

Foodnote: After trying out the killer toast recipe, I just have to try this easy no knead artisan bread that requires no sugar. Although it is time consuming to have to wait for the dough to rise etc. but it can also be left in the fridge overnight and the next day, just shape and bake. I actually only bake 1/4 of the actual recipe and I got 2 big round loaves of bread that can last me for 2-3 days!! I also made a mistake ggrrr... I found a craft cutter instead of my scoring knife. No wonder it is not sharp that I have to use my knife. After that... than I found my scoring knife ggrrrrr... Definitely will be making this again for my upcoming potluck session... AAANDD... using my scoring knife this time round!! Another mistake I did is to use a greaseproof baking paper instead of parchment paper so the bottom stick ~sigh. Need to slice the paper off the bottom hhhmmm. Next time will just grease the baking tray. Taste wise... very nice when it is hot to eat with butter and jam. Very chewy so obviously I love the killer toast more. However... still nice and I finish a whole loaf *hide*

Made this again for potluck session. This time, I prepared garlic and spring onion spread. It is really yummy and a hot favourite with my friends!! I tried to demo but run out of bread flour so we got Bake King bread flour instead of Prima which I used previously. The dough came out very sticky hhhmmm. Maybe need more flour for different brand of bread flour. Will take note.
