Almost Sourdough kinda Bread
What you need
this one i know measurement
-
3 cup AP Flour (can do half whole wheat half ap)
-
1.5 tsp Salt
-
2 tsp Instant Yeast
-
1.5 Warm wata
-
Cast iron or Dutch oven ( not needed but it work nice with it)
What to do
-
Mix flour yeast, and salt in a bowl and whisk it to combine it all, then add in the water and mix it up until all flour is incorporated.
-
after all mixed and you cant see no flour, cover it with some plastic wrap and let it rest long long time. Long time like overnight at room temp, to let it ferment and make some nice things so its tasty and nice.
-
After it ferments as long as you want, wet you hand and grab a corner of the dough stretch it out and fold it on itself. Repeat this for all 4 sides.
-
Now transfer it to a parchment paper, so its easy to drop into the dutch oven/cast iron pot youll use to bake it in. Cover with the bowl it was in and let it proof for around 2 hours.
-
Now preheat the oven to 450 WITH the cast iton or dutch oven inside it for 1 hour.
-
Dough done take its nap, now dust i with flower and get creative with design ontop like you see the people who make nice breads on tiktok do. ( I just make a big slit down the middle of the dough) dont do it super deep just enough so that it can release steam
-
put some mits on and take out the hot hot cast iron from the oven, and pick up the loaf using the parchment its in and drop the parchment and dough all into the hot hot pot you just took out the oven.
-
Bake Covered for 30 min, itll be white white after this so then you take off the lid and bake it uncovered for another 25-30 min, or until you like the color.
-
Let it cool off on rack so bottom dont turn soggy soggy, then chop it up and eat it.
