Cooking Instructions

150 mins
  1. 1

    Biga:

  2. 2

    Mix flour and yeast together

  3. 3

    Add water and mix until incorporated

  4. 4

    Cover with plastic and allow to sit 12 to 24 hours

  5. 5

    After 24 hours

  6. 6

    Final Dough

  7. 7

    Place Biga and water into bowl and dissolve biga

  8. 8

    Add flour yeast and salt

  9. 9

    Mix, I hand mix this, until smooth and silky

  10. 10

    A little more ...

  11. 11

    There you go.

  12. 12

    Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 and a half hours

  13. 13

    After the first 20 minutes fold the dough. I will post pics on the method.

  14. 14

    Dust the table top well.

  15. 15

    Sprinkle some flour on the top of the dough

  16. 16

    Turn out onto floured table top

  17. 17

    Fold one side 2/3 over

  18. 18

    Repeat with the other side

  19. 19

    Now the top

  20. 20

    Then the bottom

  21. 21

    Placing folds down, return to the bowl and cover. Allow to rise the remaining time.

  22. 22

    Turn out onto a well floured surface and halve

  23. 23

    Form into rough ovals, dust tops with flour, cover and let rise until doubled. Another 1 and a half hours or so.

  24. 24

    You can also cut off smaller pieces and place on a cornmeal dusted cookie sheet to make roll sized buns. These will take less time to rise, say about 30 minutes or so.

  25. 25

    Preheat your oven and stone to 450°F

  26. 26

    Transfer loaves to stone and bake 20-30 minutes, until internal temperature is 200°F, or until hollow sounding when thumped on the bottom.

  27. 27

    Alternative method. Just cut the dough in half and place on muslin dusted with rice flour.

  28. 28

    Once risen, dust what is being used to transfer to the stone and place next to the muslin.

  29. 29

    Flip the dough over onto the transfer peel. The top then becomes the bottom.

  30. 30

    Cool on a wire rack.
