Рецепт Zopako Bread Recipe
I am running a hard race at the moment with my blogging as I still have not caught up from when we were overseas. I seem to be chasing my tail and moving papers around my desk. I still have to finish our blog of our holiday – the last two days have not been written up and the photographs have not yet been transferred to my computer. I have left my sourdough starter in the freezer as I have a few bread recipes to try that do not use sourdough. My weekends have been full and I must admit that instead of getting into my kitchen every day for my blog, I have been watching Master Chef Australia. We are only watching season 3 now so please, no spoilers! I am looking forward to our annual shut down in December as by then I should have caught up with everything and I can dedicate loads of time to my kitchen. I needed to bake bread for a recipe and I decided to try one of Dan Lepard’s recipes as I have read across the blogs that they really work. I did not have time to waste and when we got home on Saturday night I got the ingredients together. What I really like about this Zopako bread is that it takes no effort to make. There is very little kneading involved and I am sure that I can adapt this to try with my sourdough starter. It has a deliciously hard crust and dipped into a bit of bisque, made the perfect end to our dinner last night.

Lay diagonally on a tray lined with a silpat or baking paper
Cover with lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove for 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 240° Celsius
Bake for 20 minutes, along with a small tray of boiling water on the lowest shelf to make the oven slightly steamy Reduce the heat to 200° Celsius and bake for 20 minutes, until crisp
