Comment préparer Mini Bread Loaves
- **Prepare the Starter:** In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast. Whisk until dissolved.
- Add 1 cup all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Whisk vigorously for 100 strokes.
- Cover the bowl and let the starter rest in a warm place for 1 hour.
- **Make the Dough:** Add 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 6 cups warm water (105-115°F), 4 cups all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt to the starter.
- Whisk for 50 strokes and let stand for 2 minutes.
- Using a large spoon, mix in 2 cups of flour until well incorporated.
- Add 3 cups of flour and mix until well incorporated.
- Add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix until the dough comes together.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- **Knead the Dough:** Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and sprinkle with more flour.
- Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough for about 5 minutes, gradually adding the remaining 1 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in a large bowl lightly coated with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Brush the top of the dough with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
- **Shape and Bake:** Gently deflate the dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
- Divide the dough in half, then each half in half again, and finally divide those pieces into fourths (resulting in 16 pieces).
- Shape each piece into a tight ball.
- Place the dough balls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Let the loaves rise for 30 minutes.
- **Preheat and Bake:** Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place oven racks in the center of the oven. Place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Bake the loaves for 10 minutes at 450°F.
- Lightly spray or sprinkle the loaves with water.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue baking for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **For Extra Crusty Loaves:** Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes and skip step 23. Omit water spritz.
- Remove from oven and brush with melted butter or oil for a softer crust (optional).
