NOTHING BEATS THE TASTE
A HERITAGE WE CAN BE PROUD OF...
Few aromas are as irresistible as that of freshly baked bread wafting through the home. Crisp on the outside and pillowy soft within, this rustic pot bread is a celebration of simple baking done well. The addition of ice is the secret to achieving that perfect artisan-style crust while keeping the centre light and tender.
IMANA Gourmet Fiery Chilli Tomato Soup is the secret ingredient in this bread, bringing a subtle spicy kick and an unexpected depth of flavour, transforming an everyday loaf into something truly memorable. The result is a signature bread with character, one that's destined to become a family favourite.
Serve thick slices generously topped with cream cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and your favourite savoury toppings, or use it as a side to soak up your favourite rich soups, hearty stews and slow-cooked dishes. Warm, comforting and full of flavour, this is homemade bread at its very best.
INGREDIENTS
30 g IMANA Gourmet Fiery Chilli Tomato Packet Soup
450 g Flour
10 g Instant Yeast
1 level tsp Salt
2 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Oil
350 ml Warm Water
1.5 tbsp Flour for dusting prior to baking
4 Ice Cubes for baking
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 230°C (220°C fan).
Mix flour and yeast in a separate bowl.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add warm water, the IMANA Gourmet Soup powder, oil, sugar and salt. Mix on low speed until dissolved.
Add the dry mix of flour and yeast into the dissolved IMANA Soup liquid.
Mix to a wet, sticky dough (not runny) until the dough is able to fall away from your fingertips.
Line the greaseproof baking paper inside a desired pot.
Tip the dough into the pot, cover and let rise for approximately 30 - 60 minutes until doubled.
Add 4 ice cubes behind the paper folds, in-between the paper and the pot wall.
Bake 20 minutes covered, then 12 minutes uncovered or more until golden brown.
Timing is based on your oven fan capacity, as these differ in all homes.
Cool completely before serving.
