How to Make Old Time Bread
- Grind 10 cups of wheat flour using a stone mill (if possible) for the finest texture. Sift the flour through a fine-mesh sieve.
- In a large bowl, create a well in the center of the flour.
- Add 3 pints (approximately 1.4 liters) of ale yeast and 2 teaspoons of salt to the well.
- Gradually add lukewarm water to the flour, mixing with your hands until a dough forms. Knead the dough vigorously for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t have a bread kneading machine, you can fold and work the dough in a floured cloth, using your feet to knead (as originally suggested).
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently shape the dough into round, flat loaves (manchets). Score the sides to allow for expansion. Prick the tops with a knife.
- Place the loaves in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
