BLOOMER BREAD
Bloomer Bread is not really a type of bread as much as it is a shape. It is cylindrical with a flat bottom, and has several diagonal slashes across the top. It's a British "style" of baking bread. The slow rising means the yeast does the work and develops a rich flavor.

Steps:
- Mix the dry ingredients, except for the yeast, in large mixing bowl.
- Mix the yeast with the warm milk. Add to the dry ingredients, mix well, then knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Roll the dough in flour, put in a warm bowl and leave at room temp for 4 hours.
- Punch down dough, knead it again, roll it in flour and let rise again another 2-3 hours.
- Punch down the dough, give it a final kneading, shape into a baguette shape, cut slashes across the top with a sharp knife, brush with water and let rise another 30-50 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20 minutes.
- Reduce temp to 325F and bake for another 20-30 minutes until brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Put in the butter and rub it into the flour. Mix in the seeds. Make a dip in the centre of the flour and pour in almost 300ml hand warm (cool rather than hot) water, with a round-bladed knife. Then mix in enough of the remaining water and a bit more if needed, to gather up any dry bits in the bottom of the bowl, until the mixture comes together as a soft, not too sticky, dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands.
- Put the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 mins until it feels smooth and elastic, only adding the minimum of extra flour if necessary to prevent the dough sticking. Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with an upturned, clean, large glass bowl and leave for 45 mins-1 hr or until doubled in size and feels light and springy. Timing will depend on the warmth of the room.
- Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 3-4 times. You only want to knock out any large air bubbles, so too much handling now will lose the dough's lightness. Shape into a ball, then cover and leave for 10 mins.
- Shape by flattening the dough into a rectangle about 25 x 19cm using your knuckles. Fold both shorter ends into the centre like an envelope, make a ¼ turn, then flatten again into the same size and roll up very tightly, starting from one of the short ends. Seal both ends by pressing down firmly with the side of your hand. Lay the loaf on a baking parchment-lined baking sheet with the join underneath. Using a very sharp knife, make 7-8 diagonal slashes down the length of the loaf, deep enough to open up slightly. Cover and leave for 40-45 mins, or until about doubled in size. Finish by brushing between slashes with water, then sprinkling with alternate lines of seeds.
- Put a roasting tin in the bottom of the oven 20 mins before ready to bake and heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Put the risen bread in the oven, carefully pour about 250ml cold water into the roasting tin (this will hiss and create a burst of steam to give you a crisp crust), then lower the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack. If you tap the underneath of the loaf if should be firm and sound hollow.

- Mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 300ml of the lukewarm water and all the oil. Mix vigorously with a round-bladed knife until the mixture comes together in a craggy, lumpy dough.
- Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and bring it together into a ball. Knead it for 8–10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic (it should bounce straight back when gently pressed).
- Form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and set it aside in a warm place for 45 minutes–1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Turn out the risen dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knead it two or three times – this is called knocking back and redistributes any large air pockets to give an even rise.
- To shape the loaf, flatten the dough into a 25 x 20cm rectangle, patting it out with your fingers and gently pulling the edges.
- Fold both short ends into the centre (like folding a business letter), then turn the dough through 90 degrees.
- Flatten the dough once more into a rectangle, then, starting from one of the short ends, roll it up into a tight cylinder.
- Seal both ends by pressing down firmly with the palm of each hand, then tuck the ends under the loaf. You should be left with a taught, oval-shaped loaf.
- Transfer the shaped loaf to the prepared baking tray, seam side downwards. Sprinkle over the poppy seeds, if you wish, then dust lightly with flour.
- While the loaf proves, heat the oven to 230°C/210°C fan/450°F/Gas 8. Put an empty roasting tin in the bottom of the oven to heat up.

- Place the dry ingredients in a bowl, taking care not to have the salt and yeast touching. Add the oil and 240ml/9fl oz of water.
- Using your hands, mix the ingredients together. Gradually add the remaining water (you may not need it all), until all the flour leaves the side of the bowl and you have a soft, rough dough.
- Pour a little oil onto a clean work surface. Sit the dough on the oil and begin to knead. Do this for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and silky.
- Once risen, place the dough onto a floured surface. Knock the dough back by folding it in on itself repeatedly. Do this until all the air is knocked out and the dough is smooth.
- To shape into the bloomer, flatten the dough into a rectangle. With the long side facing you fold each end into the middle then roll like a Swiss roll so that you have a smooth top with a seam along the base.
- Place on a tray lined with parchment paper, cover and leave to prove for 1-2 hours at room temperature, or until doubled in size.
- Lightly spray with water and dust with a little flour. Make four diagonal slashes using a sharp knife across the top.
- Preheat the oven to 220/425F/Gas 7 and place a baking tray filled with water on the bottom shelf of the oven - this will create steam when the loaf is baking.
