- 2 cups water
- 5 3/16 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon yeast brewer's
- 3/4 tablespoon lard optional
- 3/4 tablespoon lecithin or 1 large egg yolk
- Dissolve the yeast in the water and combine 90 grams of the flour. Allow the mixture to rise (approximately 2 hours).
- Add the remaining flour and knead by hand just enough to incorporate.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight at 10 to 12C.
- Remove the starter from the refrigerator.
- Dissolve the soy lecithin in a little warm water.
- Dissolve the yeast in the remaining water and add as much flour necessary to make a creamy mixture.
- Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.
- Then add the lecithin, 2/3 of the remaining flour, and the starter, broken into pieces, to the mixture in a mixer bowl and turn on the mixer to low speed.
- When the mixture is well incorporated, add the lard (or 2 tablespoons of olive oil) and the salt, add the flour when the other ingredients have been completely incorporated.
- Increase the mixer speed and add the oil gradually, scraping down the bowl if necessary.
- Knead until the dough is smooth, shape it into a ball and cover the bowl.
- After 15 minutes, refrigerate the dough at 4 to 5C for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Place the dough on a work surface, and without kneading it, cut the dough into pieces (any shape you wish) weighing 80 grams each. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and let rise until they double in size.
- Brush the surface with extra virgin olive oil and bake at 220C with a pan of water in the oven for the steam.
- After 10 minutes, remove the pan of water and finish baking at 180C.
