Preparation of Easy village bread loaf with thermomix

1. 1. We put the flour and salt in a large bowl, stir to hide it (we know that yeast and salt are faithful enemies), crumble the yeast in the water, stir and pour it into the bowl (we can mix with a spoon or with our hands, whichever works best for you), once everything is integrated, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

1. 1. After that time, within the same bowl, we fold it 8 times (this is nothing more than folding it from each end, stretching and thus we will develop the gluten and we will have a great crumb), we will have a bowl with water, which we will wet our hand so that it does not stick to us.

1. 1. Having done this, we cover again and store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

1. 1. In total we will do this 4 times.

1. 1. In the last fold; we cover again and let it ferment in the refrigerator for 1 and a half hours or 2 hours.

1. 1. After the proofing time, we take it out of the refrigerator, sprinkle flour on our work surface, and on top of the dough. Now we fold it until it forms a ball, we turn it over. On a clean and large cloth, sprinkle flour and place it in the bowl where we formed the dough. We pour the dough into that bowl, sprinkle flour on the surface and cover with what is left of the cloth.

1. 1. Now we let it increase in size at room temperature (about 2 hours).

1. 1. 20 minutes before the proofing is finished, we place the baking tray on the second shelf from the bottom (to heat up), I use a baking stone.

1. 1. And at the bottom, another tray to pour a glass of boiling water when we insert the bread.

1. 1. We preheat the oven to 220 °C top and bottom heat,

1. 1. When it has increased in size, we place parchment paper and pour the dough on top. Sprinkle the surface with flour and score it, making some cuts.

1. 1. We place it in the oven and pour a glass of boiling water on the bottom tray.

1. 1. Bake for 15 minutes at 220 °C, and then lower the temperature to 180°C, bake for 1 more hour.

1. 1. We take it out and let it cool on a rack completely. (it keeps very well for days, simply covered with a cloth)

1. 1. ENJOY, BON APPÉTIT
