Baking bread in the Omnia with dry yeast or fresh yeast
Bake ingredients for Omnia bread
500 gr. flour
10–15 g fresh yeast or 1 packet of dry yeast
Salt
Sugar
320ml water lukewarm
Preparation
You can bake this Omnia bread with dry yeast or with fresh yeast, whichever you prefer. Personally, I prefer fresh yeast because it helps the dough rise better. However, if you only have dry yeast on hand, that's not a problem. Simply mix the dry yeast in a small bowl with warm water and a little sugar until it foams. Then add the remaining ingredients as described in the recipe below.

This is how bread is baked in the Omnia oven
- Mix the flour with sugar and salt.
Then dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and knead it with the flour for 5-10 minutes. - Afterward let the dough rest in a warm place for 1-1,5 hours. It's best to cover it with a cloth.
- Then knead the dough well again. Form a roll out of the dough. You put this in the Omnia. Then let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Then bake the bread for 10 minutes at full heat. Then reduce the heat to half for 10 minutes. (Bake at medium heat (approx. 180–200°C) for 30–40 minutes.)
- After baking, take the bread out of the Omnia oven so that it doesn't sweat in the silicone mold and become damp again.
Alternatives and variations for Omnia bread
If you want to refine your bread from the Omnia oven, you can add seeds, fried onions, sesame, nuts or sunflower seeds. This will add to the amount of flour. You may have to add a little more water to give the dough a good consistency. However, Chris says that this has not been necessary for him so far.

Tips and tricks for baking bread in the Omnia oven
With these tips and tricks you can improve your bread baking experience in the Omnia oven.
The right choice of flour
Choosing the right flour is crucial. Wholemeal flour gives the Omnia bread a rustic touch, while wheat flour ensures a softer result. You can also use a mixture of both. If you are traveling in a motorhome, you can prepare the flour mixture at home. Then you don't need to take so many ingredients with you on the go.
Don't underestimate dough rest
Let the dough rest sufficiently. A longer resting time improves the texture and taste of the Omnia bread.
Experiment with spices
Be creative and add spices like cumin or rosemary to the dough. This gives the Omnia bread a special touch.

Questions and answers:
How do I prevent the bread from burning?
To prevent your bread from burning in the Omnia, start with medium heat and bake for a bit longer. A heat protection mat or flame shield between the gas stove and the Omnia helps distribute the heat better. Rotating the Omnia regularly also ensures even baking. Baking without a silicone mold will produce a crispy crust, but make sure to grease it well to prevent sticking.
What is the best way to store bread in a motorhome?
After cooling, freshly baked bread should be stored in a linen bag or bread cloth to keep it breathable and prevent it from drying out. Avoid plastic, as it collects moisture and is prone to mold growth. In hot climates, a ventilated bread box or storage in a shady storage area helps. For longer trips, you can also slice and freeze bread, for example, in a small campervan freezer.

It depends on the size of the bread and the heat source, but it usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

A plain white bread or rye bread works well for the Omnia. However, it is possible to bake other types of bread as long as the dough fits in the pan and doesn't overflow.
