cups into flour and sweeping off excess 2 1 4 tsp 12 gr salt 1 1 4 cups 280 300ml tepid water 70 74 degrees 21 23c both methods stir the yeast in the 1 3 cup warm water and let liquefy completely while measuring flour into mixing bowl when yeast has liquefied pour it into the flour along with the salt and the rest of the water hand method stir and cut the liquids into the flour with a rubber spatula pressing firmly to form a dough and making sure that all the bits of flour and unmassed pieces are gathered in turn dough out onto kneading surface scraping bowl clean dough will be soft and sticky stand mixer using the dough hook attachment on the speed the mixer manufacturer recommends for dough hook use or the lowest setting if there is no recommendation slowly work all the ingredients together until a dough ball is formed stopping the mixer and scrapping the bits of flour and chunks of dough off the bottom of the bowl and pressing them into the dough ball continue to mix the dough on a low speed until all the bits of flour and loose chunks of dough have formed a solid dough ball both methods turn dough out onto kneading surface scraping bowl clean dough will be soft and sticky let the dough rest for 2 3 minutes while you wash and dry the bowl and the dough hook if using a stand mixer step 2 kneading petrissage the flour will have absorbed the liquid during this short rest and the dough will have a little more cohesion for the kneading that is about to begin use one hand only for kneading and keep the other clean to hold a pastry scrapper to dip out extra flour to answer the telephone and so forth your object in kneading is to render the dough perfectly smooth and to work it sufficiently so that all the gluten molecules are moistened and joined together into an interlocking web you cannot see this happen of course but you can feel it because the dough will become elastic and will retract into shape when you push it out hand method start kneading by lifting the near edge of the dough using a pastry scraper or stiff wide spatula to help you if necessary and flipping the dough over onto itself scrape dough off the surface and slap it down lift edge and flip it over again repeating the movement rapidly in 2 3 minutes the dough should have enough body so that you can give it a quick forward push with the heel of your hand as you flip it over continue to knead rapidly and vigorously in this way if the dough remains too sticky knead in a sprinkling of flour the whole kneading process will take 5 10 minutes depending on how expert you become shortly after this point the dough should have developed enough elasticity so it draws back into shape when pushed indicating the gluten molecules have united and are under tension like a thin web of rubber the dough should also begin to clean itself off the kneading surface although it will stick to your fingers if you hold a pinch of dough for more than a second or two stand mixer place dough back into the bowl and using the dough hook attachment at the recommended speed low knead the dough for about 5 7 minutes at about the 5 minute mark stop the mixer and push at the dough with your fingertips if it springs back quickly you have kneaded the dough enough if it doesn t spring back continue to knead stopping the mixer and retesting every 2 minutes if the dough sticks to your fingers toss a sprinkling of flour onto the dough and continue to knead the dough should be light and springy when it is ready breadchick also recommends always finishing with about 1 2 minutes of hand kneading just to get a good feel for how the gluten is formed both methods let dough rest for 3 4 minutes knead by hand for a minute the surface should now look smooth the dough will be less sticky but will still remain soft it is now ready for its first rise step 3 first rising pointage premier temps 3 5 hours at around 70 degrees you now have approximately 3 cups of dough that is to rise to 3 1 2 times its original volume or to about 10 1 2 cups wash and fill the mixing bowl with 10 1 2 cups of tepid water 70 80 degrees and make a mark to indicate that level on the outside of the bowl note that the bowl should have fairly upright sides if they are too outward slanting the dough will have difficulty in rising pour out the water dry the bowl and place the dough in it mary and sara note very lightly grease the bowl with butter or kitchen spray as well to prevent the risen dough from sticking to the bowl slip the bowl into a large plastic bag or cover with plastic and top with a folded bath towel set on a wooden surface marble or stone are too cold or on a folded towel or pillow and let rise free from drafts anyplace where the temperature is around 70 degrees if the room is too hot set bowl in water and keep renewing water to maintain around 70 degrees dough should take at least 3 4 hours to rise to 10 1 2 cups if temperature is lower than 70 degrees it will simply take longer when fully risen the dough will be humped into a slight dome showing that the yeast is still active it will be light and spongy when pressed there will usually be some big bubbly blisters on the surface and if you are using a glass bowl you will see bubbles through the glass step 4 deflating and second rising rupture pointage deuxieme temps 1 1 2 to 2 hours at around 70 degrees the dough is now ready to be deflated which will release the yeast engendered gases and redistribute the yeast cells so that the dough will rise again and continue the fermentation process with a rubber spatula dislodge dough from inside of bowl and turn out onto a lightly floured surface scraping bowl clean if dough seems damp and sweaty sprinkle with a tablespoon of flour lightly flour the palms of your hands and flatten the dough firmly but not too roughly into a circle deflating any gas bubbles by pinching them lift a corner of the near side and flip it down on the far side do the same with the left side then the right side finally lift the near side and tuck it just under the edge of the far side the mass of dough will look like a rounded cushion slip the sides of your hands under the dough and return it to the bowl cover and let rise again this time to not quite triple but again until it is dome shaped and light and spongy when touched step 5 cutting and resting dough before forming loaves loosen dough all around inside of bowl and turn out onto a lightly floured surface because of its two long rises the dough will have much more body if it seems damp and sweaty sprinkle lightly with flour making clean sure cuts with a large knife or a bench scraper divide the dough into 3 equal pieces for long loaves baguettes or batards or small round loaves boules only 5 6 equal pieces for long thin loaves ficelles 10 12 equal pieces for small oval rolls petits pains tire bouchons or small round rolls petits pains champignons 2 equal pieces for medium round loaves pain de menage or miche only if you making one large round loaf pain de menage miche or pain boulot you will not cut the dough at all and just need to follow the directions below after you have cut each piece lift one end and flip it over onto the opposite end to fold the dough into two place dough at far side of kneading surface cover loosely with a sheet of plastic and let rest for 5 minutes before forming this relaxes the gluten enough for shaping but not long enough for dough to begin rising again while the dough is resting prepare the rising surface smooth the canvas or linen towelling on a large tray or baking sheet and rub flour thoroughly into the entire surface of the cloth to prevent the dough from sticking step 6 forming the loaves la tourne la mise en forme des patons because french bread stands free in the oven and is not baked in a pan it has to be formed in such a way that the tension of the coagulated gluten cloak on the surface will hold the dough in shape for long loaves the batard baguettes are typically much too long for home ovens but the shaping method is the same after the 3 pieces of dough have rested 5 minutes form one piece at a time keeping the remaining ones covered working rapidly turn the dough upside down on a lightly floured kneading surface and pat it firmly but not too roughly into an 8 to 10 inch oval with the lightly floured palms of your hands deflate any gas bubbles in the dough by pinching them fold the dough in half lengthwise by bringing the far edge down over the near edge being sure that the working surface is always lightly floured so the dough will not stick and tear which would break the lightly coagulated gluten cloak that is being formed seal the edges of the dough together your hands extended thumbs out at right angles and touching roll the dough a quarter turn forward so the seal is on top flatten the dough again into an oval with the palms of your hands press a trench along the central length of the oval with the side of one hand fold in half again lengthwise this time seal the edges together with the heel of one hand and roll the dough a quarter of a turn toward you so the seal is on the bottom now by rolling the dough back and forth with the palms of your hands you will lengthen it into a sausage shape start in the middle placing your right palm on the dough and your left palm on top of your right hand roll the dough forward and backward rapidly gradually sliding your hands towards the two ends as the dough lengthens deflate any gas blisters on the surface by pinching them repeat the rolling movement rapidly several times until the dough is 16 inches long or whatever length will fit on your baking sheet during the extension rolls keep circumference of dough as even as possible and try to start each roll with the sealed side of the dough down twisting the rope of dough to straighten the line of seal as necessary if seal disappears as it sometimes does with all purpose flour do not worry place the shaped piece of dough sealed side up at one end of the flour rubbed canvas leaving a free end of canvas 3 to 4 inches wide the top will crust slightly as the dough rises it is turned over for baking so the soft smooth underside will be uppermost pinch a ridge 2 1 2 to 3 inches high in the canvas to make a trough and a place for the next piece cover dough with plastic while you are forming the rest of the loaves after all the pieces of dough are in place brace the two sides of the canvas with long rolling pins baking sheets or books if the dough seems very soft and wants to spread out cover the dough loosely with flour rubbed dish towel or canvas and a sheet of plastic proceed immediately to the final rising next step for long thin loaves fincelles follow the steps above but making thinner sausage shapes about 1 2 inch in diameter when they have risen slash as with the batard for oval rolls petits pains tire bouchons form like batards but you will probably not have to lengthen them at all after the two foldings and sealings place rolls on a floured canvas about 2 4 apart and cover with plastic to rise when they have risen make either 2 parallel slashes or a single slash going from one end to the other for small medium or large round loaves pain de menage miches boules the object here is to force the cloak of coagulated gluten to hold the ball of dough in shape the first movement will make cushion the second will seal and round the ball establishing surface tension place the dough on a lightly floured surface lift the left side of the dough with the side of your left hand and bring it down almost to the right side scoop up the right side and push it back almost to the left side turn the dough a quarter turn clockwise and repeat the movement 8 10 times the movement gradually smooths the bottom of the dough and establishes the necessary surface tension think of the surface of the dough as if it were a fine sheet of rubber you were stretching in every direction turn the dough smooth side up and begin rotating it between the palms of your hands tucking a bit of the dough under the ball as you rotate it in a dozen turns you should have a neatly shaped ball with a little pucker of dough le cle underneath where all the edges have joined together place the dough pucker side up in a flour rubbed canvas seal the pucker by pinching with your fingers flour lightly cover loosely and let rise to almost triple its size after unmolding upside down on the baking sheet slash with either a long central slash two long central slashes that cross at right angles or a semi circular slash around half the circumference for small round rolls petits pains champignons the principles are the same here as for the preceding round loaves but make the cushion shape with your fingers rather than the palms of your hands for the second stage during which the ball of dough is rotated smooth side up roll it under the palm of one hand using your thumb and little finger to push the edges of the dough underneath and to form the pucker where the edges join together place the formed ball of dough pucker side up on the flour rubbed canvas and cover loosely while forming the rest space the balls 2 inches apart when risen to almost triple its size lift gently with lightly floured fingers and place pucker side down on baking sheet rolls are usually too small for a cross so make either one central slash or the semi circular cut for large oval loaf pain boulot follow the directions for the round loaves except instead of rotating between the balms of your hands and tucking to form a round loaf continue to turn the dough from the right to the left tucking a bit of each end under the oblong loaf in a dozen turns you should have a neatly shaped oval with tow little puckers of dough le cles underneath where all the edges of have joined together place the dough pucker sides up in a flour rubbed canvas seal the puckers by pinching with your fingers flour lightly cover loosely and let rise to almost triple its size after unmolding upside down on the baking sheet slash with parallel slashes going diagonally across the top starting from the upper left and going to the lower right step 7 final rise l appret 1 1 2 to 2 1 2 hours at around 70 degrees the covered dough is now to rise until almost triple in volume look carefully at its pre risen size so that you will be able to judge correctly it will be light and swollen when risen but will still feel a little springy when pressed it is important that the final rise take place where it is dry if your kitchen is damp hot and steamy let the bread rise in another room or dough will stick to the canvas and you will have difficulty getting it off and onto another baking sheet it will turn into bread in the oven whatever happens but you will have an easier time and a better loaf if you aim for ideal conditions preheat oven to 450 degrees about 30 minutes before estimated baking time step 8 unmolding risen dough onto baking sheet le demoulage the 3 pieces of risen dough are now to be unmolded f...
