I’m sharing a homemade, artisanal folded bread recipe now, which will be ideal for Easter, as is incredibly delicious, and usually I make 2 times a week, not only for Easter 🙂
Ingredients
Instructions
-
First we making the 12 hours old bread dough.
Mix 200 gr. (7 oz or 1 cup) flour with 200 ml water and 7 gr (1.5 tsp) of dry yeast.
Incorporate well. -
Cover, and set aside.
Leave overnight, allow to rise for 12 hours. -
After 12 hours of resting, add 100 ml water to the old dough and mix.
-
Place the old dough, remaining flour, water, yeast, salt in to a mixing bowl.
Knead until the wall of the bowl will be clean. -
With 3-4 tablespoon of oil spread the bottom and wall of the bowl.
Cover and allow to rise for 40 minutes. -
After 40 minutes fold the dough. Let it rest to another 30 minutes.
Repeat the process 3 more times.
Fold, rest 30 minutes, fold again, rest again 30 minutes.
In total 4 times. -
After 3-4 folding shape the dough, just as you always do, or as I do in video.
Place in the baking tray, and let it rise for 1 hour. -
Slash the top on the desired pattern.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250 °C (480 °F).
-
After 1 hour of resting, give a good water wash.
Baking this bread needs steam in the oven, so place boiling water in oven in a heat resistant pan or tray.
-
Bake at 250 °C (480 °F) for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200 °C (400 °F) and bake for 30 minutes.
When is done, while is hot, give a light water wash.
Enjoy! Good Appetite!
