Bread dough for lazy boys 2023-01-22

INGREDIENTI

  • flour (ideally bread flour but if you don't have it, it's not the end of the world)
  • water
  • salt
  • yeast (i use the little dried packet stuff)

RATIOS

To start measure the weight of flour; this is what we'll work from. You can now work out how much of the other ingredients you need using these ratios:

  • 65% water
  • 2% salt
  • 0.5% yeast (this amount doesn't particularly matter, as long as it's in this ballpark)

So if we used 1kg of flour for example, the recipe would look like this:

  • 1000g flour
  • 650g water
  • 20g salt
  • 5g yeast

STEPS

  1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl nad mix until the flour is hydrated (you do not need to knead it, just bring it together).
  2. Put in the fridge to slowly proof for at least a day.
  3. Remove dough as required from the fridge and place in desired baking vessel (you don't have to bake it all at once, I sometimes make a big batch and bake multiple things over the cours of a few days).
  4. Proof in vessel for an additional hour or so at room temperature.
  5. Bake!
