Ingredients

  • FOR THE STARTER:
  • 1/2 cups Unbleached Bread Flour (I Used King Arthur Better For Bread Flour)
  • 1/4 cups Cool Water
  • 1 pinch Yeast
  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 4-1/2 cups Bread Flour
  • 1-1/4 cup Cool Water
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon Non Diastatic Malt Powder Or Brown Sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    ["First, combine the starter ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Cover, and let rest at room temperature overnight.", "The next day, combine the puffy starter with all of the dough ingredients (except the brown sugar) and knead, either by hand, electric mixer, or bread machine, to form a stiff but not dry dough. (I used the dough hook on my KitchenAid Mixer, and let it work for about 10 minutes till the bread was smooth.)", "Since we're using a high-protein bread flour here, you might notice it takes a bit more effort and time to develop the gluten.", "Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and set it aside to rise for 1 hour.", "Gently deflate the dough, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.", "Transfer the dough to a work surface, and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth, round ball. Cover the balls with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 30 minutes. They'll puff up very slightly.", "While the dough is resting, prepare the water bath by heating the water and malt (or sugar) to a very gentle boil in a wide-diameter (about 10\") pan. Make sure you have enough water to fill the pan to about 1\"" deep.""
