EDGEHOG bread took us under two hours from start to finish. Waiting for the bread to grow was the hardest part. INGREDIENTS • 600g strong white bread flour • 12g fine salt • 8g of fresh yeast or 4g dried yeast • 400ml of luke warm water • Currants or dried cranberries • Clean hands MAKES ONE MUMMY HEDGEHOG AND 5 BABIES. 1. Weigh the flour, salt and yeast. 2. Mix the salt and flour together in a large mixing bowl. 3. Measure 350ml of cold water. Top up to 400ml with just boiled water. Ask an adult to help with this. 4. Dissolve the yeast into the water. 5. Using a fork, stir the flour whilst slowly pouring the yeasted water into the bowl. Then use your hands to combine it into a sticky dough. 6. Cover with another bowl and rest for 5 minutes. 7. Knead the dough for ten seconds, by folding it into itself. Rest for 10 minutes, then repeat twice. 8. Once you’ve kneaded it three times, leave in the large bowl and cover with cling film until doubled in size. In our warm kitchen, this took about 40 minutes. 9. Punch the dough down and divide into hedgehog shapes, an oval body
with a pointy nose. 10. Place on a floured baking tray, with plenty of room around each one. 11. Allow to grow again, almost doubling in size, loosely covered with some oiled cling film. Preheat oven to 220°C, gas mark 8. Put a small ovenproof tray in the bottom of the oven. 12. Once grown, poke two currants onto the face for eyes. Ask a grown up to help with the next part. 13. Using a pair of sharp scissors, carefully snip spikes onto the hedgehogs. 14. Pour a small mug of water onto the ovenproof tray to create some steam. Put the hedgehogs in the oven. After 5 minutes, turn the oven down to 200°C, gas mark 6. 15. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Tap the bottom of the bread. It should sound hollow if it’s cooked. ENJOY YOUR HEDGEHOG BREAD!
