Here is the recipe, step by step: You will take 250g of organic t65 flour, preferably without additives !! 4g of salt, 100g of liquid leaven, 140g of lukewarm water. Then you knead everything with a mixer for about 10 minutes quietly / and of course it is possible to knead by hand in a small bowl! Then you let stand (that is to say rest) your dough 2 hours at room temperature (around 24 ° C) you can also let it rest overnight in the fridge to develop the aromas and gain in conservation. Then you divide in 2, roll and shape into a baguette !! Then it is the second fermentation, about 1 hour and you remember to preheat your oven to 250 ° C it is very important that it is hot !! After 1 hour, you scarify with a razor blade with a sharp blow and place yourself in your oven with a little water in the pan !!
Fabrice Cottez: And 15 minutes later, it’s happiness !! You take out your bread, beautiful, you let it cool and you can enjoy a slightly acidic bread thanks to the sourdough, which is excellent for digestion.
