Baking the bread

  • Preheat the oven to 200 Deg C / 392 Deg F.
  • Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes until done. The bread is done when you see it starts releasing the edges and when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. It might be still a little sticky as the bread is moist, but the dough should not be raw.
  • Once done remove and let it sit in the baking tin for 10-15 minutes.
  • After 10-15 minutes remove it on a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
