Step One
Place the piece/s of dough on a baking tray, cover loosely and leave to thaw. This can be done in one of three ways:
Option 1: Refrigerator overnight
Option 2: Leave in a cool room
Option 3: Microwave for 45 seconds
Step Two
Once completely thawed, lightly oil a bag or piece of cling film and leave to prove in a warm place until doubled in size. The time will vary according to the room temperature, but a small dough piece will normally prove in about 30 minutes. If you’re going to do any shaping, portioning of the dough into smaller pieces or twisting etc, now is the time to do it before you prove the dough.
Step Three
Once proved, you can now cut and top the dough. If you’re cutting be sure to use a very sharp blade to give a neat finish. Your options at this stage are endless from topping with seeds, glazes or creating intricate patterns with cuts.
Step Four
Bake until golden at 200°C (or 175°C for the brioche dough) or until the bread gives a hollow sound when tapped on the base. The small dough pieces will take on average between 12-15 minutes and the loaves will take approx. 25-35 minutes. It’s always better to slightly overbake than underbake so go for a little longer if you’re unsure. For a more crusty bread, add a little steam to your oven. If you don’t have a steam function a roasting tin half filled with boiling water will do a great job.
