This is a bread recipe that you takes a just a few minutes to mix, then after you let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours, you just cut, shape, let sit for a bit, and then bake.
You can size this any way you like. A loaf, a boule, a roll, a hamburger bun, a hoagie bun, or whatever you fancy. You can also use this for pizza dough. Just shape into ball, let come to room temperature, and roll out. I baked the above loaf on a pizza stone with boiling water in a pan on the bottom of the oven to steam, but you do not need to do either if you do not want to.
Making the dough.
Combine in a container that will allow for about 25% growth;
(note- my first try at this, I made half this recipe and it made the above boule and 2 10" pizza crusts)
-3 cups lukewarm water
-1 1/2 TBLS Yeast
-1 1/2 TBLS Salt
-6 1/2 cups fllour
(make sure dough is sticky and has no dry spots)
-Put on air tight lid or wrap well with plastic wrap.
-Let sit in refrigerator for 24 hours minimum and up to a week.
-Tear off amount of dough you need.
-Shape and let rise for about an hour, give or take on temperature and humidity. Colder = longer, warm/humid = less.
-Pre-heat oven to 450. If desired, place a solid pan on bottom of oven for steaming water.(boil water and add right after putting bread in oven)
-If desired, score bread on top with sharp knife or razor blade. If not, it will still come out fine.
-Bake for 15-30 minutes, depending on size of loaf. If you have a thermometer, you want at least 195 degree interior.
