Ingredients
- 2 cups Manitoba flour (strength W400)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups water
- 1/4 tsp yeast (dry)
- 3 pinches fine salt
Preparation
In a large bowl, pour the two flours together with the yeast.
Add the water and start mixing with a spatula.
Now add the salt and mix the dough a little more.
Continue to mix the dough well with the spatula, making upward movements, turning the mixture over about ten times.
Do not touch it with your hands, as it is very hydrated, it is mushy and sticky.
Cover the bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil and let the dough rest for 18 hours in a sheltered place.
After the time, the dough will be bubbly and well-risen but definitely soft and sticky.
Place a large sheet of aluminum foil or plastic wrap on a surface.
Sprinkle it well with flour, be sure not to leave empty spaces otherwise the dough would stick.
Pour the dough on top of it with the help of a spatula.
Grease the oven tray with oil, take the foil with the dough from both opposite sides (better if someone helps you) and flip it onto the tray itself.
Try to give it a slightly elongated shape.
Cover it with a towel and let it rise for another two hours.
Heat the oven to 428°F, place a glass of water inside (it will help to prevent the crust from getting too hard and provide the right humidity during baking), place the tray with the dough in the middle part and bake for about 35 minutes.
Once the baking time is over, turn off the oven, remove the glass of water, and let the bread cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
You will get a bread with airy holes and slightly crunchy.
Suggestions/Advice
The dough will be very soft and sticky. Work it only with the spatula.
Sprinkle the aluminum foil or plastic wrap generously with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
