CRUSTY BREAD
INTERMEDIATE RECIPE
DIRECTIONS
1 In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine
3 ½ cups flour, yeast, 1 ½ cup lukewarm water, salt,
and olive oil. Knead until a smooth, sticky dough
forms. If necessary, add extra flour ½ tablespoon
at a time. Remove dough from bowl and knead by
hand until dough becomes less sticky.
2 Cut dough into 2 equal sized portions. Reserve 1
dough ball for the recipe. Place the remaining ball
in a sealed container with headspace and store in
the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
3 Line the Cook & Crisp Basket with a nonstick silicone
baking mat (or parchment paper), and spray with
nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to basket.
4 Place the basket in the pot. Close the lid, then move
the slider to AIR FRY/STOVE STOP.
5 Select PROOF, set temperature to 95°F, and set
time to 50 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin
the first rise. When the rise is complete, remove
the basket.
6 Add remaining / cup water to the pot. Deflate
the dough by gently pressing on it, then reshape it
into a ball. Transfer the dough to the basket, then
place the basket in the pot. Close the lid.
7 Select PROOF, set temp to 95°F, and set time to 50
minutes. Press START/STOP to begin the second
rise. After 30 minutes, check the dough to make
sure it has doubled in size. If it has not doubled
in size, close the lid and continue proofing for the
remaining 20 minutes. Once complete, close the
lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP.
8 Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 350°F,
and set time to 20 minutes. Press START/STOP
to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5
minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will
start counting down).
9 When cooking is complete, the surface of the
bread will be crusty and brown. Carefully remove
the basket from the pot. Allow the bread to cool
on a rack for about 30 minutes before serving.
