  • Yes, but it’ll be a bit rough because I did not follow a specific one:

    • 600g white bread flour, 400g water, 7g dried yeast, 15g salt
    • Activate the yeast by warming half of the water and sprinkling the yeast on top. Leave for five-ten minutes. There should be some bubbles.
    • Mix everything, knead enough to get it homogenous
    • Cover and put in the fridge for 12 hours. I left it overnight
    • Take the dough out of the fridge, divide into six
    • Shape into balls, aining to get a taut upper surface. I am not sure how best to explain this. You’re kind of folding the outsides into the centre of the bottom
    • Cover and leave to proof for an hour
    • Half an hour into the proof, preheat the oven with a dish of water in it. 220 C / 430 F
    • 45 minutes into the proof, make the paste for the top. Mix 50g rice flour, 5g sugar, another packet of dried yeast, 10g sesame oil, and just enough water to make a spreadable paste. Spread over the top of the dough, taking care not to squash them
    • In the oven for 22 minutes
