Prepare the octopus by removing the hard parts like the eye and mouth.

Cut the legs of the octopus to help it lay flat.

Place the octopus in a baking dish with bay leaves, peppercorns, and olive oil.

Do not add salt as the octopus is naturally salty.

Pour in beer and a bit of brandy.

Cover the dish and place it in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30-40 minutes.

After 40 minutes, turn the octopus over and remove the cover.

Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes covered again.

After the second cooking period, check for tenderness; it should be soft but may need more time.

Turn on the grill function in the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes for a nice finish.

Remove the octopus from the oven and slice off the legs for serving.

Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt, and sweet paprika before serving.
