Really Struggling!
Really Struggling with baking. Not sure if its my recipe, my oven or my loaf tin?
Recipe is...500g bread flour, 7g yeast, 10g salt, 360ml water, drop of olive oil and then kneading for 10 mins. Dough feels lovely and stretchy and elastic. Im then letting it prove for an hour or so until doubled. Then I knock it back and shape it with a bit of flour and then put it in the pan and let it prove again until its risen a lot. I preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and then bake for 25 mins.
The bread isn't cooking inside the pan very good but the top is browing very dark, almost black. Im using a new tin that isn't non stick and is silver in colour.
Any help really appreciated
