Steamed Wholemeal Bread: How to Prepare it with the Bimby

The first step to prepare steamed wholemeal bread is to pour 150g of water and 10g of yeast into a bowl, which we will crumble with our hands and mix everything with the Bimby for 5 seconds at speed 3. Then we need to add 300g of wholemeal flour, 5g of extra virgin olive oil, and 5g of salt and mix everything for 3 minutes at speed Spiga. We then need to take the dough from the jug and work it with lightly floured hands until forming a ball, which we will place in a bowl and then sprinkle with seed oil. To promote rising, we will cover the bowl with some cling film. After about two hours, we will need to transfer our dough, which will have gained a lot of volume, into a bowl that can fit in the Varoma lid and let it rise for another hour. To add more flavour to our steamed wholemeal bread, we can add herbs or seeds as we wish.

Cooking

After 60 minutes, we will need to transfer the bowl into the Varoma lid, pour the remaining 1500g of water into the jug, and cook everything for 45 minutes at Varoma temperature at speed 1. Before slicing our steamed wholemeal bread, which is now ready, we must wait for it to cool down. The ideal is to leave it on a rack. If there are difficulties in removing the dough from the jug, we can add a tablespoon of flour and let it mix at speed 10 for a few seconds. Additionally, it is possible to cook the dough directly in the Varoma, but only after lining the bowl with baking paper.
