Italian Peasant Bread | Poolish Method
Italian Peasant Bread Full Recipe and Directions:
———————————————————
Italian Peasant Bread - The sweet aroma of whole wheat and corn perfumes the air as the knife breaks through the crisp and crackling crust. The first slice reveals a crumb that is light and airy with a open textured with a few large fermentation bubbles throughout the loaf. You can taste the subtile sweetness in the bread which is developed in the loaf from the Biga. This bread is a throw back to days when Italian bakers used a less refined flour and time to develop the subtile and complex flavors to make their breads. Baking the loaf on a hot baking stone produces a bread that has the characteristics of a bread baked in a wood-fired oven. Hand-shaped and hearth baked the Italian Peasant Bread is sure to become one of your favorite breads to make at home for your friends and family.

INGREDIENTS:
****TO MY FRIENDS IN EUROPE/UK: The all purpose flour that i typically use is King Arthur which is about 11.7% protein. Your All Purpose flour may be different than what's available in the US. If in doubt, choose a flour that has between 11-12% protein and you should be in good shape!
ALSO if you have never made bread before, this dough is 78% hydration and will be slightly sicky. Use 75 less grams water in the final dough and it will be much easier to handle.

YOUR FIRST SOURDOUGH (Sourdough Bread For Complete Beginners)
Welcome to Your First Sourdough! When I started making sourdough bread a decade ago, I had a lot of questions and a LOT of failures and could have really used a step by step video to walk me through an entry level loaf. This video is just what young-Brian would have wanted. The lower hydration makes it easier to handle and more sourdough starter ferments the loaf faster so it takes less time to make start-to-finish. This is a perfect place to begin your sourdough journey. We can get into higher hydration and silky open crumb in the future. For now, we're talking about an awesome, tasty, rustic sourdough loaf that anyone can make, even if you're an absolute beginner.

RECIPE:
*i've listed measurements in grams and volumetric, but i HIGHLY recommend using gram measurements as listed for the best results*
1. Build the Leaven
•100g room temp water (78 F/25 C) or 1/2 cup
•25g or 1 TBSP ripe sourdough starter
•100g or 1 cup all purpose flour (11.7% protein)
Measure water, sourdough starter, and flour into a high sided container and stir to combine. Ferment, covered, at room temperature for 12 hours.
2. Mix the Dough
•310g water (92 f / 33 C) or 1 1/4 cup
•200g or about 1 cup leaven or (from build stage above. 25g will be left over to propagate your future sourdough starter)
•400g or 3 1/4 cup purpose flour (11.7% protein)
•50g 1/3 cup whole wheat flour (14% protein)
•12g or 2 tsp salt
Add water, leaven, flours, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine with a sturdy spoon. Once combined into a shaggy mess of dough, begin to pinch and squeeze with a wet hand until well mixed (about 2-3 minutes depending on how fast you mix). Cover and begin the bulk fermentation
3. Bulk Fermentation
Place the dough you just mixed from step 2 above in a warm place to ferment for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, give you dough a set of strength building folds. See 6:30 for process.
Cover dough and place in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes (or 60 minutes total of bulk fermentation, repeat the strength building folds. Cover and place in a warm place and continue to ferment for 2 more hours.
4. Shaping
Flour the dough and work surface and flip the dough out onto the work surface. Shape as shown at 8:19. Scoop dough ball into a well floured proofing basket, seam side up.
5. Proofing
Cover with a towel and allow to rise at room temperature for 90 minutes.
After 90 minutes, when poked your dough ball should hold an indent briefly before bouncing back.
6. Baking
Preheat dutch oven in a 500 F / 260 C oven for 30-45min.
Sprinkle Semolina or cornmeal onto a piece of parchment and flip your proofed dough ball onto the parchment seam side down. Score with lame, razor blade, or scissors.
Load parchment and dough into preheated dutch oven, reduce oven temperature to 485 F / 250C and bake for 18 minutes.
See video for alternative baking method.
