From Rosalia McKean In a large mixing bowl add: 2 1/2 cups very warm water 2 TBS sugar 1 TBS salt, sea salt preferred 2 TBS oil, I use olive oil 3 cups unbleached flour
Then add: 2 TBS yeast 2 to 3 cups flour/ I often use 1 cup of wheat flour; more than that makes the bread dry Beat vigorously 2 or 3 minutes with a wooden spoon. (I don’t know why, but a wooden spoon is better than a mixer or metal spoon.) Only add enough dough to where it is still sticky. The dough will form during the 6 stirrings. Leave the spoon in the batter, cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Stir down the dough as much as possible and then let it rest another 10 minutes. Repeat this process until the dough has been stirred down six times total. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead only enough to coat the dough. For Loaves: Divide the dough into two parts. Roll each part into a rectangle about 9 inches long and roll up like a jelly roll rolling from long side to long side. (This works better than rolling the dough into a long “snake.”) Arrange lengthwise on large cookie sheet or French bread pan that has been greased and sprinkled with corn meal. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes. With a very sharp knife, cut two length-wise gashes on the top. You may brush the entire surface with a slightly beaten whole egg, but I usually don’t. Bake in a preheated oven of 400 for 25-30 minutes or until brown. Immediately remove from baking sheets and cool on racks.
For Rolls: Divide dough into 10 parts and form into rolls. Great for large sandwhiches.
I have a small cast-iron skillet I use for bread making. I place it on the bottom rack of the oven and let it heat up as the oven preheats. After the bread pan is in the oven, I pour boiling water into the skillet and quickly close the oven door. The steam from this process helps to create a nice crust on the bread. I've tried to use more than one cup of wheat flour, but it tends to dry out the bread. Also, the recipe calls for up to 6 cups of flour; however, I try to stay between 5 and 5 1/2 cups. It really is okay if the dough is sticky. If it seems too sticky part way through the stir downs, then just add a little more flour. It is easier to add some flour, but harder to fix dry bread.
1Tbsp yeast 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water 4 cups flour 1 Tbsp sugar 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 2 tsp salt dried rosemary oil and salt as needed
Combine sugar, yeast and lukewarm water to dissolve. Add flour, salt, and onion. Knead until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in size. Punch down. Flatten out dough on oiled cookie sheet to about 1 inch thick. Oil the top of the dough. Let rise until doubled in size. Sprinkle with salt and dried rosemary. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot. Great cut in half and used for a sandwich. Serves 6-8.
