Abundance Recipe - Beyond The Basics
One aspect of cookery I really wanted to master better, while at culinary school, was in the brilliance of baking bread. I liked doing it, and sort of loved it too. I didn’t feel I was so very good at it however, while at Cordon Bleu cookery classes.
Over the years I played in dough occasionally and looked at others who mastered it longingly. Recently I have made a fabulous improvement in baking bread and I couldn’t be more excited.
I love focaccia bread as it’s very versatile and I’ve made bread sticks from it, twisting them and stuffing garlic, grated cheese or some other wonderful surprise pushed in just before baking them off. They’re amazing dipped into soup, salad or dips generally. I also love the focaccia bread made into pizza dough. I’m now playing in french stick dough which is such fun too.
Here’s bread dough for you to go play in. These bread recipes work and I bake them every week……This one is a French loaf - a slightly thicker baguette….Yum!
Ingredients:
1.75 oz warm water
1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
16 oz of flour - bread four and all purpose ( I mix 8 oz of each)
10 oz cool water
bread flour for dusting
1 tsp dry rosemary and garlic mix
2 teaspoons sea salt
Method:
Warm water in a bowl, Sprinkle the yeast and stir briefly with a fork. Leave it 10 minutes to foam.
Take the bread and all purpose flour and mix in a large metal bowl.
Make a well and add the yeast mix, stirring.
Add the cool water until it’s sticky and comes together with a fork.
I like a fork as the air gets in and keeps the bread airy.
Add the rosemary and garlic.
Cover the bowl and allow in a warm place with a warm, damp towel, to rise.
Leave it 30 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a floured board and add more flour as it will be sticky.
Add the salt here, mix and form.
Rise again in warm area, covered as before - for 1-2 hours ( I have found close to 2 is good)
Divide dough and make your baguette shapes on the tray you will bake them on.
Leave 45 minutes to rise again.
Cut and sprinkle with a light dusting of flour.
Bake in oven at 45O for 30-40 minutes.
