The night before:
– 2.5 cups of warm water
– 2 1/4 tsp yeast
– 2 1/4 tsp salt
– 1tsp sugar
– 4 1/4 cup flour
mix together in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator overnight
Next day:
– punch, deflate and scoop around the bowl to turn flour more into a loose ball.
– cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for a few hours
– pour into a baking pan, spritz with a little olive oil, use your fingers to push the dough out towards the sides and cover with a tea towel (for as long as it takes oven to heat up)
– preheat oven to 425 degrees
Right before baking:
– remove tea towel
– pour olive oil generously over the dough (imagine yourself as the lead in some movie about a chef making decadent food and let your heart lead the way)
– dimple the dough
– add your seasonings. I use Italian seasoning, rosemary, thyme. I also add sliced onions or shallots and top it with whatever fancy salt I have.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. It should be golden, crispy on top but have a little squish when you push down on the top.
Let the bread rest for 15 minutes and enjoy! | Posted on 17/Mar/2024 23:15:13
