Ingredients

500g Plain flour
500g Wholemeal flour
12g Sourdough starter
550ml Cold water
20g Salt
Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Sesame seeds to taste

Proceedings

1

In a bowl, combine the plain flour and wholemeal flour, the sourdough starter and water, adding the water in stages. Knead on a work surface, add the salt, and shape into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl and cover the dough with cling film, ensuring it does not touch the dough.

Place the dough in the blast chiller and activate the proving function.

Set 3 proving stages: +3°C for 6 hours, 19°C for 6 hours and finally 28°C for a further 6 hours.

Remove the dough and bake in a fan-assisted steam oven at 220°C for 10 minutes, steam level 25%.

Then, continue baking in a static oven at 170°C for 20 minutes and finish in a fan-assisted steam oven at 170°C for 10 minutes with a steam level of 25%.
