Papa’s Bread # 2
Just like the other recipe this bread is very easy to make, so here goes..
Ingredients
6 cups of white flour
2 1/2 cups of room temp water
1 tbsp of active dry yeast
2 tsp of salt
And maybe a pinch of sugar
Mixing steps
Combine half the flour and all yeast and sugar in the mixer bowl by stirring not by the mixer
In the rest of the flour stir in the salt
Add all the water to the flour yeast and sugar bowl and mix by hand until a soggy mess then place bowl in mixmaster with the dough hook..
Next turn mixer on a low speed and slowly add the rest of flour. Nead this for about 8 to 10 minutes adding a little water ( like tbsps at a time ) to create a sticky dough cleaning bowl sides as needed be.
Remove from mixmaster and by hand nead a bit to even out in the bowls, cover with Saran and place in warm place. Let raise for about two hours.
While dough is raising dampen the Banneton Bowls and cover the inside with rice flour so dough will not stick to them.
When dough is risen dump out onto counter, nead to remove some of the air.
Then cut dough in half placing each into a banneton bowl, needing down a bit to fill the bowls.. return the bowls to the proofer for another two hours..
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake loafs for 45 minutes. When baked turn the loafers out on cooling rackets and if you can’t wait, cut a crust piece, and using ample butter ENJOY!
