Ingredients

Method

  1. Combine the bread flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Pour the water into the bowl (use ice water if the room temperature is high).
  3. Mix the ingredients by hand, incorporating the dry flour into the wet dough until a single mass forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead it for 10 minutes.
  5. Slap and fold the dough against the surface to strengthen the gluten until it is smooth and shiny.
  6. Cover the dough with a bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes to prevent drying.
  7. Divide the dough into three equal portions, about 160 grams each.
  8. Shape each portion into a tight, smooth ball by cupping your hand and tucking the outer dough underneath, then sealing the bottom.
  9. Place each dough ball into an individual bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let ferment for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature until they double in size.
