Straight Method (Soft French Bread)




This bread doesn't require prefermented dough.

You can use yeast water as water when you start making your dough.

It takes time for the first rise and get relatively faster 2nd rise.

This recipe is good for over-night fermentation.

RECIPE

WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR 100G(3.5oz)

AP FLOUR 100G(3.5oz)

SALT 1/2 TSP

YEAST WATER 130G(4.6oz)
(TAKE YOUR YEAST WATER JAR FROM REFREGERATOR 1+ HOUR BEFORE USE)

HONEY POWDER 2 TBSP (OR 1TBSP SUGAR)




1.MIX ALL THE INGREDIENTS AND MAKE YOUR DOUGH. KNEAD WELL.
2.PLACE THE DOUGHT IN A BOWL.
3.WHEN THE DOUGH DOUBLES, SHAPE IT.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE GAS INTENTIONALLY IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME HOLES IN YOUR CRUMB. HANDLE THE DOUGH AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
4.LET THE DOUGH RISE FOR THE SECOND TIME. UNTIL THE DOUGH LOOKs LOOSEN.
5.SLASH THE TOP OF THE DOUGH AND BAKE AT 400F FOR 15-17 MINUTES.


CRUMB OF THIS BREAD IS VERY SOFT AND GOOD FOR SANDWICHES.
RECOMMENDED COMBINATION IS CUCUMBER AND CHEESE. YUM!

Hi
I tried this with my raisin yeast. The yeast seemed like it did exactly what it was supposed to do. However, when I made the bread, I put it in the oven next to the light with the oven OFF. And I let it sit overnight. NO RISE. Not even a little. My house is pretty cold at night so I was worried that it wouldn't rise without the heat of the light in the oven. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi

It is better to use preferment instead of using straight method.
Making preferment helps your dough to rise better.

good luck!
