Mocha Baguette with Homemade Bread Starter
- 200 grams Type 55 baguette flour (I used Lys d'Or brand)
- 80 grams Homemade natural yeast starter
- 6 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 115 grams Water (lukewarm water in the winter)
- 5 grams Instant coffee
- 10 grams Cocoa powder (sweetened)
- 60 grams Mikan peel
- Dissolve the coffee in lukewarm water.
- Put all of the ingredients except for the mikan peel in the bread maker, and start the kneading course.
- After about 5 minutes, when the dough starts to come together, add the mikan peel, then knead for about 2 more minutes.
- (Turn off to add the peels, then switch back on.)
- Place the ball of dough inside a bowl lightly coated with oil, then let sit until tripled in size (1st proofing).
- (See picture.)
- Divide the dough into 4 portions, then let sit for 20 minutes.
- If you have a canvas cloth to use as a baking couche, place the portions of dough on top, and let it rise for a 2nd time.
- If you don't have a cloth, dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour and place the portions of dough on top.
- Fold the paper so that it forms 'walls' between the portions of bread so that they don't touch each other.
- When they have increased to 1.5 times its original size, it's done rising.
- Preheat oven on the highest setting with the oven tray inside.
- Slash the tops of the baguettes, mist with water, then bake for 9 minutes at 230C, reduce heat to 210C, then bake for another 15 minutes.
