Ingredients
- 600 grams water
- 1000 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp active-dry yeast
Instructions
- In a large metal mixing bowl, add yeast, sugar, and water. Whisk together.
- Add flour and mix with a wooden spoon until it comes together and you can use your hands.
- Just before kneading, add the salt.
- Knead for at least 10 minutes.
- Rest the dough while you clean your bowl, or use another.
- Spritz the inside of the bowl with water. Put the dough inside, and flip it so the slightly wet side is now on top. Spritz with more water, if necessary. You don't want it soaking, just lightly misted so it doesn't get dry and crackly while it's rising.
- Allow dough to rise for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400℉
- Shape the dough into two long loaves and position them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Use a knife to cut several slashes across the top of each.
- When oven is hot, mist the tops of the loaves with water and put them in the oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 350℉ and turn the cookie sheet. Bake for another 30 minutes.
