Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 400 ml Water
- 5 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Salt
- 15 ml Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and activated.
Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture, then pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased Dutch oven.
Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes, until slightly puffed.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a Dutch oven, place it in the oven while it preheats.
If desired, make a few shallow cuts on the surface of the bread with a sharp knife or razor to create a decorative pattern.
If baking on a sheet, place the bread in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. If using a Dutch oven, carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes to develop a deep, golden crust.
Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
