Pain de Campagne-style Bread with Bread and Cake Flour - Version 3
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 10 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 3 grams Dry yeast
- 130 grams Lukewarm water (use cold water in the summer)
- 1 Joshinko or bread flour
- 1 Banneton (bread-rising mold with concentric ridges)
- 1 Stainless steel bowl
- Combine the bread and cake flour, and sift together twice.
- Put the ingredients in a bread machine, and start the "dough kneading" program.
- 6 to 7 minutes in, stop the machine, take the dough out into a bowl, and lightly round off into a ball.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise using your oven's "dough rising" setting at 35C for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Round off the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Dust the banneton with about 1/2 tablespoon of joshinko or bread flour using a tea strainer.
- Deflate the dough and round it off into a smooth ball again.
- Place the dough seam side up in the flour-dusted banneton, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Leave the dough to rise at 35C for 25 to 30 minutes, until it has increased to 1.5 times its original volume (2nd rising).
- Start preheating the oven, with the baking tray and the stainless steel bowl, to 250C.
- Put a sheet of kitchen parchment paper on top of the banneton, and invert the dough onto it.
- Score the top of the loaf about 5 mm deep using a moistened knife.
- Take the stainless steel bowl out of the oven, put the dough on the baking tray with the paper, and invert the bowl over the loaf.
- Lower the oven temperature to 210C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove the bowl about 7 minutes into the baking time.
- If it looks like the loaf is browning too fast, cover with a piece of aluminium foil.
- Cool the baked loaf on a cooling rack.
- Store in a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
- This is how it looks when it's sliced.
- The crust is crispy, the crumb is soft and delicious.
- I used a 24 cm diameter, 8 cm high stainless steel bowl.
- This size worked fine even when the loaf rose.
