Round-up bread

Yes! Finally it raised and cracked up, it’s beautiful i think and much better than the last two I did.

I changed slightly the recipe but i’ve done more or less the same steps so i’m not sure which elements made it work. Let’s see if I can reproduce it this week with the same success.

200g of flour w360 from ElAmasadero (harina de fuerza)
100g of flour w160 from ElAmasadero (Harina panadera ecologico)
150g of ordinary flour from ElAmarsadero (Harine de resposteria)
345g of lukewarm water (approx 28°C)
6,5g of fresh yeast
10,5g of sugar
1 tablespoon of honey

I diluted the yeast in the lukewarm water
Added the flours, salt and honey together then the water
Mix everything together with your kitchenaid and knead at speed 1 for arround 10mn
Take the dough and fold it in two and then again in 2 or 3 by stretching the dough and knocking it on the kitchen top. Rest for 15mn under a kitchen cloth
Repeat above step.
Repeat again but then leave the dough to raise in a big bowl in the fridge overnight. I use plastic film over the bowl
Take the dough in the morning and stretch it 4 or 5 times in the center and let rise about 1hr in a bowl under a cloth
Pre heat the oven at 250°C (each oven is different, this works for mine, you need to know your oven)
Put a metal tray at the bottom of your oven and when you will put the bread to bake, pour a glass of cold water to make steam
Leave the heat only at the bottom without ventilation
I put the bread on a round stone that I bought for the oven for 20mn
I removed the tray of water and decrease the heat to 220°C and put the heat on top & bottom for 15mn
After 15mn I put a kitchen foil on top of my bread as it goes too fast otherwise and decrease at 210°C
I put back the heat at the bottom only for an other 20/25mn
Let it cool on a rack

tips: I love fresh bread, so as soon as it’s cold, I cut it and freeze it. Then at every meal I get a piece of bread and put it in the toaster and then I get fresh bread everytime. Yummy!
