French Sourdough in the Bread Machine
- 180 grams Bread flour
- 40 grams Whole wheat flour
- 30 grams Rye flour
- 5 grams Salt
- 5 grams Honey
- 160 grams Water
- 2 1/2 grams Dry yeast
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 70 grams Dried fruits soaked in rum
- Add all of the ingredients to the bread maker and set it to the dough setting.
- Start the course and once the dough has finished kneading, switch it off.
- Take the dough out of the bread maker and mix in the walnuts and rum-soaked fruit.
- Prove until the dough doubled in size.
- Once proven, punch it down to get rid of any excess gas and roll it into a neat ball.
- Leave to rest for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough out into an oval shape.
- Fold the two long sides over the bread towards the middle.
- Fold in half lengthways and firmly close up any seams.
- Put the dough seam-down on a baking tray and leave to prove for a second time.
- After this second proofing, use a tea strainer to sprinkle some bread flour over the top of the dough and score it 4 times.
- Spray with water and bake in an oven preheated to 220C for 22 minutes.
- The outside of the bread may burn easily so if it looks like it is browning too much, cover it with aluminium foil whilst baking.
- Here it is when baked.
- I kind of burned it a little, but that's the way I like it.
- You can use this recipe to make 2 small loaves as well.
- Here I tried making a loaf with no filling.
- I proved it for a second time in a banneton (a bread rising mould) and dusted with rye flour.
- It made a really soft loaf that's great for making sandwiches.
