Bread

Super nice easy bread.

10 slices

Experience

– 23/01/2020: made with really bread flour. Very soggy, not coming together. Did not rise at room temp. Left in the fridge overnight. Still falling apart but somehow baked super nice.
– 20/02/2020: made with 3 cups bread flour, + 1/2 cup spelt flour. Made two small loafs, baked 20 min at 250C with lid on, 10 min with lid off: very good!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour (+1/2 cup interesting flour in recent versions)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • toppings: 1/2 cup chopped olives, 1 sprig of rosemary, a couple garlic cloves roasted in the oven, walnuts, dried figs

Recipe

  1. Mix the dry ingredients, pour the water. Knead with machine.
  2. Cover with plastic and leave in the fridge overnight.
  3. Turn on the oven 230 °C and place a dutch oven or a closed pot in there.
  4. Add the toppings and mix in the dough. Form into a round loaf, dust with flour, leave for 30 minutes.
  5. Put the loaf in the pot, bake for 30 minutes, remove the lid, bake for 15 minutes more.
  6. It should make a hollow sound when topped or be at 85 °C/90 °C inside with a thermometer.
  7. Works well to make two small breads too
