Notes

Useful Tips

  1. The key success here to carefully control the water. Excessive water will cause the bread to deflate. The bread dough should be solid and sticky before go into the oven.
  2. Egg whites must be at room temperature.
  3. The water must be boiling.
  4. Weight everything using weighing device. I use a device which gives me up to 0.01g accuracy.
  5. Flaxseed must be grounded to fine powder form so that it can absorb water efficiently.
  6. Psyllium husk MUST NOT be too fine as it will block its ability to absorb water. We always buy whole psyllium husk and grind it ourselves. As a reference of finest, eyeballing it when grinding 1 portion of psyllium husk until it left about half of its original portion.
  7. Instant yeast is optional. It does not help to rise the bread but it’s a great add to the bread flavour.
  8. Do not use a cake tin which is too small for it to capture heat and rise evenly. 8″ tin is used in the video.
  9. Do not cut the bread while it is still hot as the bread will shrunk and collapse which end up a cakey bottom.
  10. Let it cool in the oven with the oven door opened will prevent the bread shrunk due to temperature shock.
  11. If you need to cover the top with aluminium foil to avoid burning, ensure you only open the oven door after the bread has already risen tall and solid. This bread starts to bring in our oven at 20mins mark of baking.
