Just another one of my crazy bread ideas. Sometimes I roll out my sourdough preferment into ropes and cut it up into pieces to add to the dough. When I do this I have thought to myself I need to make some bread that is rolled out like that. Well I finally did it. The dough for this is really nice and supple. This bread ended up being a fun fast easy bread to make. I already ate some of it and it has a nice light sweetness to it. I'm going to take some to work to see what my co-workers think of them. Here is how I made the bread.
The preferment is made in two builds and is 100% hydration.
| Formula | Grams | Precent |
|---|---|---|
| Flour* | 458 | 100% |
| Water | 298 | 65% |
| Salt | 9 | 2% |
| Preferment | 435 | 95% |
| Total | 1200 | 262% |
*The flour is 90% bread flour and 10% whole wheat.
I took the water and warmed it up for 30 seconds in the microwave then pour it into a mixing bowl. The tempreature of the water was warm not hot. Then I scraped all the preferment into the bowl and mixed all up with the water until it had all broken up. I added the flour in stages mixing it all up with the water before adding more flour. When the flour had all been added I let it set for 30 minutes then added the salt and finished mixing the dough. I mixed this dough by hand with a dough scraper, seemed to work out well. The dough was streached after about an hour and retured to the bowl. The dough felt really good after three hours so I turned it out onto a bed of flour and started cutting pieces off of the dough. I would then roll them out like rope and place them on a parchement lined cookie sheet. When I had the dough all cut and rolled out I turned the oven on and preheated it to 460°. The sticks were cooked for 25 minutes without any steam. I love how they look with their irregular bumps and lumps.
