Artisan Sourdough Bread An Easy Recipe For Crispy Bread Foodgeek

YEASTED ARTISAN BREAD

Steps:

• To a medium bowl add: 788g bread flour. 17g salt and 4g instant yeast.
• Mix up the dry ingredients.
• Then add: 591g water.
• Mix the dough with your hands until all the flour has been hydrated.
• Then put the dough on your kitchen counter and perform some slap and folds until the dough comes together. Then put the dough in a see-through container and level the top of the dough.
• Mark the top of the dough with a white board marker and let the dough grow to almost 100%.
• Then put the dough in the refrigerator for at least 8, but up to 72 hours.
• When ready to bake, grab the dough from the fridge and pour it onto the kitchen counter. Don't let it come up to temperature.
• Divide the dough into two equally sized pieces. Shape each piece into a loose ball with your bench scraper.
• Then let the dough rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
• Then final-shape both dough balls. I recommend that you watch the video at the bottom where I give a tutorial on how to shape a round bread (boule) and a bâtard (cigar-shaped).
• Place the final shaped doughs in bannetons.
• Heat your oven to 260°C/500°F with a baking steel (or pizza stone) and a dutch oven inside. Let it heat for an hour.
• When the hour is up, grab the first dough. Dust the bottom with rice flour to avoid sticking to the peel, and flip it onto the peel.
• Dust the top with rice flour for a cool look, then score the bread. Put the bread into the dutch oven.
• Add the lid on the top and bake for 20 minutes.
• When the 20 minutes are up, remove the lid and turn the oven down to 230°C/450°F.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes more until the bread is to your liking.
• Take the bread out of the oven, and let it cool on a wire rack.
• Bake the other bread the exact same way.
