Polenta bread recipe

It sounds incredible, but tastes incredibly yummy. Spoil your guests, family or just yourself with a tasteful polenta bread and espresso butter. Whereby the espresso butter isn’t the only clue. For an even more crispy result, bake the bread with additional humidity. But how much and when? Never mind with our special ingredient: The added steam function in Bosch Serie 8 ovens adds precisely the right amount of steam at the right time and the result gets even better.

1. For the dough, add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and knead into a smooth, soft dough. Shape into a rectangle of 20x30 cm, place into a tin which has been greased with oil and cover with cling film. Leave the dough to rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Then allow it to rise in a warm place until the volume has doubled.

2. Roll the dough out onto a work surface covered with flour and roll the dough over three times around its longitudinal axis. Place onto a baking tray which has been lined with greaseproof paper and bake as indicated. Leave the baked bread to cool down.

3. For the espresso butter, stir the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in all the other ingredients and season with pepper and herb-flavoured salt.
