Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place 1 1/3 cups warm water, olive oil, flour, brown sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by your manufacturer if different. Run the Dough cycle, about 90 minutes.
  3. 3 Sprinkle cornmeal onto a cutting board. Punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and form into two loaves.
  4. 4 Place loaves, seam-side down, onto the cutting board; cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  6. 6 Beat egg and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl; brush over risen loaves.
  7. 7 Use a sharp knife to quickly cut one long slash down the center of each loaf.
  8. 8 Gently shake the cutting board to make sure the loaves are not sticking; use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen them if necessary. Slide loaves onto a baking sheet with a quick but careful motion.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the poolish, whisk 1/2 teaspoon yeast into 1/2 cup warm water — 110 degrees F (45 degrees C) — in a bowl. Stir in whole wheat flour until resembles a thick batter. Beat for about 100 strokes to form longs strands of gluten. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 8 hours (longer is better for flavor development). You can also ripen in the refrigerator for 12 to 15 hours, bringing poolish back to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe. Poolish is ready when bubbly and loose, with a yeasty, sour aroma.
  2. 2 Scrape poolish into a bowl; stir in 2 1/2 cups warm water and remaining 1/2 teaspoon yeast until combined. Add bread flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough becomes too difficult to stir.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 to 12 minutes, adding more flour only when dough becomes too sticky to handle. Sprinkle salt over dough; continue kneading until smooth and springs back to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes more. Shape dough into a round; cover with a damp cloth for 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, 2 to 3 hours.
  5. 5 Punch down dough to deflate; cut into two pieces. Shape into two rounds, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  6. 6 Form dough rounds into baguettes. Place a heavily floured cloth on a baking sheet, arranging a fold down the center to separate the loaves. Place loaves, seam-sides up, on the floured cloth. Dust loaf tops with flour, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  8. 8 Sprinkle a separate baking sheet with cornmeal. Gently transfer risen loaves to prepared baking sheet, seam-sides down. Slash loaves several times on the diagonal with a serrated knife or razor blade.
  9. 9 Immediately place scored loaves in the preheated oven; bake until loaves are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool loaves on wire racks.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let stand until yeast is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cold water, yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and biga. Stir together using a sturdy wooden spoon.
  3. 3 When the dough comes together, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead vigorously for about 20 minutes. Take a few 1 to 2 minute breaks if you like. The dough will be somewhat sticky until it is fully kneaded. Form dough into a ball. Rub the inside of a clean bowl with oil, and place the dough in it. Turn to coat the ball with oil. Cover with a towel and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size. This will take about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. 4 Punch down the dough by folding the edges into the center and turning it over so the top is once again smooth. Cover the bowl again, and let the dough rise a second time until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  5. 5 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten into an 8 inch square using the palms of your hands. Cover and let rise again.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking stone in the oven while it preheats. Dust a bakers peel with cornmeal, and gently slide it under the dough square. Use your fingers to make a dimpled surface by pressing them about 3/4 of the way down into the dough. Mist with water.
  7. 7 Sprinkle a little cornmeal over the surface of the baking stone. Slide the square off of the peel onto the baking stone. Mist some water into the hot oven, and quickly shut the door.
  8. 8 Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool on a wire rack. Brush the surface with remaining olive oil while the foccacia is still hot.
