  • Now use a sharp knife and make few slashes on the top.
  • 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.
