Rustic Loaf

Actual hands-on time is pretty short, but it can take most of a day to complete, depending on power of your starter. I've done it without any yeast (fresh starter only), but I'm usually not patient enough.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rehydrate starter with 75 grams water, set aside. (Or 125 grams 100% hydration starter)
- 2
Mix both flours, then add remaining water until it forms a cohesive ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
- 3
Combine starter and yeast (and rosemary if desired), then add to flour ball (mixing with bare hands at first worked best for me). Once moisture is absorbed, mix with dough hook for 9 minutes.
- 4
Mid-way through the kneeding process add salt.
- 5
Once dough ball passes the window pane test, set aside and cover in a bowl with plastic wrap until doubled in volume. For my starter, this takes several (4-6) hours.
- 6
Gently deflate then form into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes covered.
- 7
Shape into a boule or batard, place on sheet of parchment paper, then cover until doubled in size (this should take about half as long as the first rise).
- 8
Preheat oven with baking stone to 525°, placing a broiling pan on bottom shelf.
- 9
When done rising, slash, lightly spritz loaf with water, then sprinkle with coarse salt to taste.
- 10
Using peel, slide loaf (still on parchment) onto stone, pour 3/4 cups of boiling water into broiling pan and immediately reduce temp to 475°. Be careful not to drop water on oven window, or it will shatter. The immediate steam generated can be dangerous, so i use a long necked flower watering pot for this.
- 11
Cook until internal thermometer reads 200° (I don't insert thermometer until crust has formed (about 15 minutes)).
- 12
Let cool completely on wire rack. Dont be tempted to cut into it while it's still warm, because the internal heat is still cooking and releasing moisture in a controlled manner.
- 13
Dinner Roll Option: Roll 80 gram balls and proof. Turn oven down to 450°, spritz rolls with water then crack salt over them. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool on rack 15 minutes before serving.

Rustic Walnut Loaf with Homemade Natural Leaven Rustic Walnut Loaf with Homemade Natural Leaven
I wanted to make a walnut-packed rustic loaf made with homemade natural leaven.Adjust the amount of water in line with the moistness of the starter. With 80 g of walnuts, it can be tricky to knead. (But it's fragrant and I love making it this way.)So, for those who aren't used to kneading with so many walnuts, reduce the amount. Recipe by kazz72 cookpad.japan -

No Knead Rustic Bread No Knead Rustic Bread
There are many no-knead bread recipes online and most recipes are almost the identical with few tweaks here and there. This is another example of a very Simple, no-knead, Chewy artisan bread recipe that can be found online from people who love baking bread like Jim Lacey, mark Bittman, simplysogood blog and many more. As One reader put it “this is a “peasant” recipe. Hundreds of years ago, women worked the fields all day. The women pre-prepared the dough before going out in the fields. 10 hours later, they are back…the wood stove was stoked and in go the handmade loaves. No one has exclusive rights to this recipe. It just evolved”. Thank you simplysogood ☺️#breakfast #yummy #tasty #bread #starch #bakingfromscratch #dessert #teatime #dinner #noknead #crustybread #crusty #lunch Pinkblanket's Kitchen -

California Farm Rustic Rye Bread California Farm Rustic Rye Bread
This version is Rustic Rye Bread, a mixture of rye flour and spelt wheat flour. Our local flour mill now sells whole red winter wheat, which we grind to spelt flour, which means everything in the whole wheat kernel is still present in the flour. Mixed with dark rye flour, homemade rye sourdough starter and homemade beer or cider instead of milk or water. The bread is steam baked till the liquid has evaporated, by putting a lid on top of the breadform. The recipe is adapted from cookpad baker Brotqueen Christina. Thank you, Christina. Hobby Horseman -
