For 1 serving

Ingredients

500 g semi-coarse flour
375 ml lukewarm water
8 g fresh yeast
10 g salt

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter: Pour lukewarm water into a bowl, add the yeast and mix thoroughly until the yeast dissolves. Let the mixture rest for a while.
Preparing the dough: Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Work the dough until smooth and elastic (by hand or using a mixer). Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
Shaping the bread: Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into the desired loaf shape. Lightly flour the top of the bread and make shallow cuts with a knife.
Baking: Place the bread in a baking bag (or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper). Let it rest for another 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Bake for 25 minutes, until the bread is nicely golden and its crust is crispy.
Serving: After baking, let the bread cool on a wire rack to keep the crust crispy. Then you can enjoy it with butter, jam, or as a side to soups.

Total preparation time:

Dough preparation: 10 minutes
Dough rising: 60 minutes
Rest before baking: 20 minutes
Baking: 25 minutes
Total: approximately 1 hour 55 minutes

Baking tips:

Add seeds, herbs, or sun-dried tomatoes to the dough for a unique flavor.
A baking bag ensures ideal conditions for rising and baking, but you can also use a casserole dish with a lid.

Enjoy! You’ll fall in love with this bread and it will become your favorite for every occasion.
