What did the recipe way and what type of bread was this exactly?
Usually you take a paper towel, dampen it with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and wipe the inside of the boal with it to coat it. Make sure your dough is formed into a ball, drop the ball into the bowl, then turn it over so that the bottom side is up (now it has oil on it) make sure the sides of the dough have a light coating of oil as well. This keeps the surface of the dough elastic and moist, allowing it to rise. Cover the bowl with a towel or if the bowl is over twice the size of the dough ball, then cover the bowl with Saran wrap. |
