This is our most loved bread at home, and it has four simple ingredients. Water, wheat flour, salt and ferment. We call it White Bread. It is very similar to our Rustic Bread. The difference between both is the protein in the flour and the hydration.
This bread is 72% hydrated and I slap and fold before I let is rest for two to three hours depending on what the dough tells me.
When it is ready I fold the ends and shape it not to tight but just enough.
20 mins sitting in the proofing basket while pre-heating the oven is enough because I do want the oven spring . It just makes you want to eat the bread with your eyes.
After baking the house smells like baked bread, the the bread sings to us while it cools down.
If you are interested in learning to bake bread PM me and I will organize a workshop.
