i have made this bread with simple ingredient as mentioned using 3 and half cups of flour (which = to a lb of 420g) with out using a steam bath too turned out as mentioned chewy crusty and soft in the center taste wonderful when eaten fresh with butter and sprinkle of pepper. baked in a floured dusted bread pan popped out wonderfully but have to bake the crust abit darker bread last for a week still fresh or if not needed left overs keep in the sun to dry for making bread crumbs that could be used for all purpose breading or stuffing or in soups as a thickner.
