Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 250 ° C.
• For 1 kg of flour, prepare 650 ml of water, 18 g of salt and 7 g of baker’s yeast * (500 g of flour for a bread of about 750 g).
• Mix the ingredients and knead gently, the gluten of these wheats is fragile, 5 minutes are sufficient.
• Adjust the amount of water if necessary, then mix to homogenize.
• Let the dough rest 1:30, covered with a cloth.
• Shape the bread (s) and let stand for 1 hour.
• Then bake for about 45 minutes, to adapt according to the shape and weight of the breads (the steam at the beginning of cooking will improve the quality of the crust).

* The use of leaven is however recommended. There are dehydrated starters in organic stores. These are leavens deactivated with yeast. The ideal is to build your own leaven from flour, water and … patience! In a week, it will spontaneously develop a diverse flora that will then regularly “refresh”. Using natural leaven (20 to 30% of the weight of the dough), increase the rest periods (2h to 3h) and monitor the development of the fermentation).
