After reading the composition of almost any black bread in the store, you involuntarily fall into a stupor: how can a product containing so much chemistry be called an element of healthy nutrition? To make black bread really only beneficial, let's cook it at home, especially since it's not difficult at all!
It is necessary
- Dough:
- - 12 g of fresh yeast;
- - 550 g flour;
- - 550 ml of water.
- Dough:
- - 400 g rye flour;
- - 420 g of white flour;
- - 30 g of salt;
- - 230 ml of warm water;
- - flour for dusting the surface.
Instructions
Step 1
First, let's prepare the leaven. To do this, slightly heat the water and dissolve the yeast in it. Add flour and knead a thick dough. We transfer to a bowl and leave in a warm place without drafts for 3 hours: the finished dough looks like a high dome. It should not be left for more than 5 hours: it will lose all the air, which gives the dough fluffiness.
Step 2
We mix the finished dough with the rest of the dough ingredients. We knead, trying to catch as much air as possible with the dough: stretch it and fold it in half, stretch it and fold it again … The finished dough will be soft, elastic, will not stick to the surface. Form a bun and place in a bowl lightly floured. Cover with a damp towel and leave for 45 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle flour on the work surface, spread the dough and knead again. Put it back in the bowl, cover with a towel and leave again for 45 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 parts and knead each and form a ball. Rest for 5 minutes. Then we transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment, make cuts at the top in the form of a mesh with a sharp knife or blade, cover with a towel and leave for the last proofing for an hour.
Step 5
We heat the oven to the maximum (mine is 250 degrees). We open the oven and quickly spray it with cold water to create steam (this is conveniently done with a spray bottle). We put the blanks there and bake for 5 minutes at an initial temperature and then another 45 minutes, lowering it to 200 degrees. Cool completely and only then cut.
