  • Preheat oven to 200 degree C. Place a baking sheet in the bottom of the oven to heat up in which we will put ice cubes once we put the bread in.
  • Put the bread tray in the middle rack of a preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 mins till top is golden.
  • Once you put the tray in oven, put few ice cubes in the bottom tray so steam can build up which will give your the signature chewy crust.
  • Once the bread is baked. Remove it and cool completely.

    Is it OK if I skip putting ice cubes while Baking. Mine is a small oven and there’s no racks I usually bake in lower rack and there’s no space to put ice cubes.

      Just keep a stainless bowl near the bread and place icecubes in it once it is hot.

    Hi Arti
    I tried it today. The bread came out very soft. It was not chewy and the top was not hard crust. I have put 8. -10 ice cubes. I kneaded the dough for 5 to 7 min.
