  • The dough should be about half the tins height for it will rise again. Keep it in some closed cabinet or corner undisturbed for about 1 hour till the dough crosses the rim of the pan.
  • As you see the dough rising, start the preheating of the oven. Preheat at 220 degrees for 10 minutes. Brush the top of the batter very gently with melted butter or milk using a pastry brush
  • Place tin carefully in the oven so as not to deflate the batter. The bread will be baked in 30-35 minutes. Remove from the pan after 10 minutes. Wrap it up in a towel so that it retains moisture.
