Pain de Campagne With Seeds and Dried Fruit
- 250 grams Bread (strong) flour made from domestically grown wheat
- 30 grams Dry seed mix (usually has sesame, pumpkin, poppy, sunflower etc. seeds)
- 10 grams Sugar
- 4 grams Natural salt
- 100 grams Natural leaven or bread starter
- 165 grams or so Milk
- 25 grams Mixed dried fruits (or dried figs)
- 50 to 60 grams Cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
- Put the ingredients in a bowl, and mix them up with a whisk.
- Add the starter and cut it in with a pastry scraper.
- Add the milk gradually until the dough is no longer floury, then knead it well.
- Add the dried fruits (figs) and knead some more.
- When the dough comes together, round it off, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and start the 1st rising.
- When the dough has increased to 2 to 2 1/2 times its original volume, the 1st rise is done!
- Take the dough out onto a generously floured mat, and spread it out into a rectangle.
- Put half the cream cheese on one side of the dough...
- ...fold the dough in half, and add a bit more than half of the remaining cream cheese on one half...
- ...fold in half again, put the rest of the cream cheese in the middle, and wrap the dough around it.
- Place the dough with the seam side facing up in a flour-dusted banetton, cover with plastic wrap and leave for the 2nd rising until the dough has increased to 1.5 to 2 times its original size.
- Take the banetton carefully off the dough, and slash the top.
- Preheat the oven to 250C, lower the heat to 230C and bake for 25 to 28 minutes.
