Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 20 grams sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 270 ml warm water
- 40 ml olive oil
- 50 grams baking soda
- 1 liter water (for boiling)
- 10 grams coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a long, thin stick shape, about 20-25 cm in length.
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot and carefully add the baking soda. Stir to dissolve.
Using a slotted spoon, gently drop each dough stick into the boiling solution for about 30 seconds, then remove and place onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle the sticks with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they achieve a deep, brown color.
Remove from the oven and allow the Laugenstange to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
