- Preparation: 870 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (70.6 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten
Ingredients
- 34 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 6 g Flour, whole wheat
- 30 g Water
- 0.3 g Yeast, fresh
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Dissolve the yeast in most of the cool water, add the flours and mix until no dry flour remains. Cover and leave for 30 minutes. (Swiss half-white flour, Halbweissmehl, lies between white and wholemeal; strong white flour with a little wholemeal comes close.)
- Add the salt and the rest of the water and knead for 10 minutes into a smooth, very soft and slightly sticky dough.
- Cover and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, stretching and folding the dough over itself twice, then put it in the fridge for 12 hours (overnight).
- Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and shape it gently into a round loaf without pressing out the air. Dust it generously with flour, set it on floured baking paper and leave it to rise for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 250 °C with a baking tray or stone inside. Slide the loaf on its paper onto the hot tray and pour a cup of water into a tray on the oven floor for steam.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 220 °C and bake for 30-35 minutes more, until the floury crust is deep brown and cracked and the loaf sounds hollow underneath.
- Cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
