    Ingredients

    Starter/Sponge:

    • 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) active yeast
    • 1/3 cup (85 ml) warm water
    • 1 cup (125 g) bread flour

    Bread

    • 1 teaspoon yeast
    • 1/3 cup (80 ml) warm milk (nut or plant based)
    • 1/2 cup (125 g) water
    • 2 cups (250 g) bread flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • oil for greasing

    Instructions

    • For the sponge, heat the water to a warm 110 degrees.
    • Add yeast to it and let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.
    • Add bread flour and make a soft sticky dough. Keep this dough covered at room temperature for 12-15 hours.
    • For the bread, Warm the milk and add yeast to it.
    • Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.
    • Add the sponge, bread flour, salt and water and use a hand mixer to mix everything.
    • Let this dough rise in a warm oven for about an hour. (keep a damp towel over the dough)
    • Dough will be sticky and full of air bubbles. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and cut in half.
    • Transfer each half to a parchment sheet and form into an irregular oval about 9 inches long. Dimple loaves with floured fingers and dust tops with flour.
    • Cover loaves with a damp kitchen towel. Let loaves rise at room temperature until almost doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
    • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until golden.
    • In the first 10 minutes, spray water over the bread every 3 minutes, for a softer crust.
    • Cool on rack
    • Enjoy with soups and sandwiches!
