A good loaf of bread can be hard to find.
Medium
Also known as pan cristal, this traditional bread from the Spanish region of Catalonia is similar to ciabatta. The wet dough stiffens as it ferments, producing a thin, crisp crust and holey or glassy interior.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 6
- 500 g (about 3 cups) bread flour
- 400 g (about 1-1/2 cups) water
- 7 g (about 1/2 tablespoon) dry active yeast
- 12 g (about 2 teaspoons) salt
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, water, salt and yeast. With the dough hook, mix for 5 minutes, then cover the bowl and let it rest for 1 hour. Turn dough onto a floured surface. With wet hands, grab a section of dough from one side, lift it up, then press it down into the middle.
2. Turn dough and repeat this process 8-12 times. Cover dough and let rest for another hour.
3. Divide dough into 6 pieces and shape into sandwich rolls. Place rolls on floured parchment paper sheet and let rest (ferment) for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 450°. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.
