bread
Author: Leah's Kitchen
+
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Steve's note: I'm not fond of whole wheat flour so I use four cups of AP.
Steve's note: I mix all the dry ingredients and then add the bottled or filtered (not tap) water.
Steve's note: If I have it on hand, I'll add a teaspoon or two of vital wheat gluten to the dry ingredients. It is not
essential but I like the results in ther crumb.
Steve's note: I spritz water on the counter and put down some plastic wrap. Then I spread some flour or corn meal
and shape the bread to the traditional 'slipper' shape, thenI dust with flour.
Next, I can slip my hands under the plastic wrap and transfer the loaf to the sheetpan that has been prepared with
parchment paper and some corn meal by using a sort of rolling or pouring motion.
Straighten out the dough and heavily dust with flour.
.........................................
1 Mix the water, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl.
2 Add flour one cup at a time.
3 Stir until all the flour is pretty much absorbed.
4 Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 18 hours or overnight.
5 In the morning uncover the dough and slightly pat it down with a rubber spatula to deflate it.
6 Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet.
7 With a rubber spatula scrape the wet dough out onto the pan, don't worry if it looks a little messy, straighten it out
a little with floured hands.
8 Set pan aside uncovered for 2 hours to rise (don't expect it to rise much).
9 Preheat oven to 425F an hour before the bread will be done rising.
10 Note:If you like you can sprinkle flour over the top of the risen dough right before you put it in the oven, this will
give it the nice crackly floured look when it is done.
11 Bake bread for 20-30 minutes. It will be done when the crust has a deep golden color. Enjoy!
