Instructions

  1. 1 Lightly flour a work surface. Place dough on flour and sprinkle more on top. Begin to knead dough, kneading about 2 tablespoons flour into dough until it is soft and supple but not too sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Cover with a large bowl and allow dough to rest and come to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.
  3. 3 Place water in a deep skillet. Whisk in baking soda to create an alkaline bath. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to keep water at a low simmer while you shape the dough.
  4. 4 Dust dough with a sprinkling of flour as needed so that dough does not stick to work surface. Flatten slightly and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round dough ball.
  5. 5 Shape each dough ball into a disk, thinner in the middle, thicker around the edges. Poke a hole in the center. Gently keep pulling and stretching until you've achieved a round pretzel shape that's not too thick.
  6. 6 Transfer pretzels (in batches if necessary) to the simmering alkaline bath. Boil about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Immediately sprinkle with coarse salt while pretzels are still wet and sticky. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before baking.
  7. 7 Place on center rack in preheated oven until beautifully browned, and stretch marks have formed, about 20 minutes. Exact times will depend on the specific size and shape of your pretzel.
  8. 8 Transfer pretzels to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place yeast into the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add water and stir, then mix in salt. Add flour and beat with a wooden spoon until dough is thick and sticky and pulls flour from the side of the bowl, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a turned-off oven until doubled in volume, 12 to 14 hours. Dough will be bubbly and very sticky.
  3. 3 Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat and dust generously with cornmeal.
  4. 4 Use a floured spatula to scrape dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Dust dough with flour. With well-floured hands, pat dough into a rectangle. Cut the rectangle into four equal pieces.
  5. 5 Dust one piece of dough with flour and stretch it with floured fingers into a log about 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches around. Gently transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Wipe off excess cornmeal with a damp paper towel if desired. Repeat with another piece of dough. (Reserve remaining dough to bake later or prepare another baking sheet to bake all four loaves at once).
  6. 6 Dust loaves lightly with flour. Dust a large piece of plastic wrap with flour and drape it lightly over the baking sheet with the floured side down. Let loaves rise, covered, until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  7. 7 Set the oven racks to the bottom and middle positions and preheat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) or as high as your oven will go. Place an oven-proof baking dish full of water onto the bottom rack of the oven.
  8. 8 Cut four or five angled slashes into the top of each loaf with sharp kitchen shears. Poke down any sharp tips of dough left by the scissors. Spray the loaves with water, using a spray bottle.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until baguettes are browned, about 15 minutes, spraying loaves with water after 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Turn the pan around on the second spraying.
  10. 10 Transfer baguettes to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature before slicing with a serrated knife.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all your ingredients.
  2. 2 Grease a large bowl with olive oil.
  3. 3 Combine all-purpose flour, spelt flour, yeast, and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add water and knead until dough is smooth, elastic, wet, and sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl. Cover and let rise on the counter for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Uncover the dough. Wet one hand and grab one side of the dough in the bowl. Pull it up slightly and fold it in towards the center. Repeat this folding technique 6 or 7 more times, turning the bowl slightly in between each fold. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Repeat Step 3 (above) two more times. Dough will have rested for a total of 2 hours.
  6. 6 Bake the Fougasse
  7. 7 Repeat folding technique once more. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
  8. 8 When ready to bake, line a sheet pan with a silicone liner; sprinkle some flour on the liner.
  9. 9 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat or press it into an oval shape, flouring lightly as necessary. Cut the oval in half lengthwise into two equal portions.
  10. 10 Shape fougasse: On one piece of dough, fold one end in over the center third, then fold the other end in over top. Dough should resemble a triangle. Transfer dough to the prepared pan. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
  11. 11 Cover both triangles with an oiled piece of plastic wrap and let sit until dough warms up, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  12. 12 Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; generously sprinkle cornmeal on the parchment. Remove plastic from the dough.
  13. 13 Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle some flour over top and use a rolling pin and your hands to stretch the triangle until it's ½- to ¾-inch thick. Sprinkle rosemary over top and press it into the dough. Transfer dough to one of the parchment-lined baking sheets.
  14. 14 Use a pizza wheel to cut through the dough in a vertical line up the center of the triangle; do not cut through the top and bottom edges. Pull dough apart to spread open the cut.
  15. 15 Make two more cuts at the top, one on each side from the center going out toward the edge, making sure you don't cut through the edges. Pull dough gently to spread it out. Make four more cuts, two in the middle, and two at the bottom, and pull dough apart. Make two more small cuts at the bottom. You will have one long cut in the center and 4 going down each side, so the fougasse will resemble a leaf. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let proof for 30 to 60 minutes.
  16. 16 Repeat Steps 6 to 8 (above) to shape and proof the remaining dough.
  17. 17 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from one fougasse. Brush olive oil over the entire surface and sprinkle with sea salt.
  18. 18 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, about 20 minutes.
  19. 19 Transfer to a rack to cool. Repeat Steps 11 and 12 (above) to bake remaining fougasse.

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.

  1. 1 Place the sourdough starter, water, olive oil, salt, sugar, yeast, and flour in that order into the pan of a bread machine, set the machine on the dough cycle, and start the machine.
  2. 2 After the machine has finished its cycle, turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times; mix in more flour if the dough is very sticky. Cut the dough in half, and roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle about 8 by 12 inches and 1/2-inch thick. Roll the rectangles into loaves the long way, pinch the seams, and taper and pinch the ends of the loaves.
  3. 3 Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and sprinkle paper with cornmeal. Place the loaves gently onto the prepared baking sheets, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Place a large baking stone onto the center rack of oven, and place a baking dish onto a lower rack. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish.
  5. 5 Remove plastic wrap from loaves, and slash several 1/2-inch deep cuts into each loaf with a sharp knife. Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed, and brush the loaves with the egg yolk mixture.
  6. 6 Place the loaves into the preheated oven on top of the baking stone, and quickly spray the inside of the oven 4 or 5 times with a water-filled spray bottle. Shut oven door; wait 1 minute, and spray again; repeat twice more, spraying the oven 4 times with water at 1-minute intervals.
  7. 7 Bake about 15 minutes, and remove the water-filled baking dish. Continue to bake until the bread is browned and the loaves make a hollow sound when thumped, about 15 more minutes. Remove bread to cool on racks.

  1. 1 Several days before you hope to eat this bread: rinse wheat berries in cool water. Drain and submerge wheat berries with cool water in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or cloth, and allow wheat berries to soak at normal room temperature overnight or for about 12 hours so they soak up a considerable amount of water.
  2. 2 Drain wheat berries in a colander; cover the colander with a plate to prevent wheat berries from drying out and set it in a place away from any sunlight or light. Rinse berries about 3 times a day, and they will soon begin to sprout. In a couple of days the sprouts will reach their optimum length of about l/4 inch. Growth depends on moisture and temperature so be patient.
  3. 3 Grind sprouted wheat berries in a food mill or in a food processor.
  4. 4 After grinding, dump the mushed up grain onto a clean work surface. Squeeze and knead the grain for about 10 minutes, then form into 2 small round, hearth-style loaves with your hands. Sprinkle an insulated cookie sheet with a little bran or cornmeal, and put the loaves on it.
  5. 5 Preheating the oven is not necessary. Cover the loaves with cloches, and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Then turn the oven down to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and bake for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes more. Allow the breads to cool thoroughly on cooling racks for several hours, and then, because of the high moisture content, store in the refrigerator. For best results, slice this bread thinly, or break with hands.
