Ingredients
- •- 4 cups bread flour
- •- 1¼ cups warm water (110°F)
- •- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
- •- 2 tbsp olive oil
- •- 2 tbsp sugar
- •- 1½ tsp sea salt
- •- 1 tbsp diastatic malt powder (optional, for authentic texture)
- •- Cornmeal for dusting
- •- 1 egg white (for wash)
- •- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 11. Activate yeast by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Let bloom until foamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- 22. Sift bread flour into stand mixer bowl. Create a well in the center, add salt and activated yeast mixture.
- 33. Knead with dough hook on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Dough should pass the windowpane test - stretching thin without breaking.
- 44. Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl. Cover with damp cloth, let rise in warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.
- 55. Punch down dough, divide into 3-4 equal portions. Shape into long submarine-style loaves, tapering ends slightly.
- 66. Place loaves on cornmeal-dusted baking sheet. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
- 77. Preheat oven to 425°F with pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside.
- 88. Brush loaves with egg white wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- 99. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- 1010. Cool on wire rack for minimum 30 minutes before slicing.
