Crusty bread

Course bread, breakfast
Cuisine Germany, Europe
Servings 1 big bread

Ingredients
  

  • 650 g water lukewarm
  • 300 g wheat flour (type 1050)
  • 300 g spelled flour
  • 300 g rye flour
  • 15 g salt
  • 15 g fresh yeast

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Make a hollow in the flour with your fist.
  • Crumble the yeast into the hollow. Fill up with 50 ml water and leave to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the remaining water and knead well with a food processor for a few minutes. Caution: Since the dough contains rye flour, it is quite sticky. That is normal!
  • Cover the dough and let it rise at a warm place for about 1 hour.
  • Form the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
  • Let the bread rest for another 10 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 230 degrees convection air. Sprinkle bread with water and dust it with flour.
  • Place a small heatproof pan filled with water on the bottom of the oven to generate plenty of steam while baking.
  • Bake the bread in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes.
