Ingredients

1 Kg Al Mutahin Bahrain Mills Pizza Flour
950 ml Cool water
1 Tbs Dry yeast
1 Tbs Sea salt

Steps

Note: Only start this recipe if you can be in the house for four to five hours. If not, see the note at the bottom.
Mix flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add the water and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until absorbed over mix it. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and place inside your cold oven.* Within three - four hours, the mixture will double in size.
Take the bowl out and pre-heat the oven to 210C. While the oven is heating up, use a bread scraper or spatula to pour the mixture on to a well-floured surface (the mixture will be wet and sticky). With floured fingers, fold it over in to a log shape. Cut into four smaller logs, or 8 to 10 as you prefer. Place onto floured sheet pans and bake for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on how crusty you like it).
Once baked, take the bread out and place it onto a cooling rack. If not using immediately, freeze it to use later! From frozen, just take it out 30 minutes before using and bake at 210C for eight minutes, to leave it as fresh as just baked!
At this point you can place the mix in a refrigerator for later. When you're ready, ensure that you take it out and keep it at room temp for 30 minutes before shaping it.
