This bread is made entirely in the Thermomix as it is steam baked in the Varoma. It is meant for toasting.

The recipe comes from ClubCocinaFacil - the recipe below has one more rising than the original. You can also see a video on their website. It is in Spanish but you will get the general idea.

See Variations below for how to convert this recipe for steaming conventionally.

Makes a wonderful bread for Pa amb tomàquet (Pa amb oli).

This can also be made in a conventional manner. Make and knead the dough according to your usual manner and steam in a in a saucepan or steamer on the hob, until it has the appearance of a suet pudding.

Chef's notes

This bread will seem to be uncooked, but that is how it is. It is very good toasted and will last for days.

I steamed mine in an enamel pudding basin, which is fine, but the top of the dough does touch the Varoma lid towards the end of the steaming time, if using a TM31. The Varoma basket in the TM5 is deeper, so should not touch the lid if using this version.
