- 1 Tbsp. yeast
- 1/3 c. hot water
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ascorbic acid

Direcciones
- 1. Dissolve yeast,sugar and ascorbic in water. Stir c. of cool water into yeast mix. Add in 2 tbls. extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
- 2. Measure flour,gluten and salt into processor bowl with plastic blade. (I have a Cuisinart 11) Pulse to combine.
- 3. Start machine. Slowly pour liquid into processor. A ball should form in a fewseconds, if it doesn't, add in a little water. Dough should form a ball on top of the blade. Allow to revolve 8 to 10 times. If dough won't form a ball, add in a Tablespoons of flour and pulse motor.
- 4. Stop machine. Remove cover and feel dough. If it feels wet add in a Tablespoons of flour and rotate. Feel dough again. Replace cover and let dough rest 5 min.
- 5. Turn on machine and rotate dough 30 times. Remove to a floured surface.
- Dough should feel smooth, not sticky and quite hard. (Don't overheat dough; if it gets warm, turn machine off and allow to cold.)
- 6. Let dough rest 2 min. Knead vigorously 50 times, slapping dough on counter.
- 7. Put dough into a greased tub (a 6 quart. ice cream tub w/lid), cover and let rise 60 min.
- 8. Turn out onto floured board, knead vigorously, stretching dough into a 14" rectangle. Fold long side to center, repeat making 3 layers. Repeat shaping and folding (this stretches the gluten and redistributes any yeast remaining).
- Then fold into a ball and return to greased tub (or possibly bowl) for the long rise, at least 2 hrs or possibly till 2 1/2 to 3 times in size.
- 9. Turn out onto floured surface, divide (opt) and shape into a round or possibly long loaf or possibly into rolls.
- USE A BAKING STONE. START PREHEATING OVEN TO 450 FOR AT LEAST 30 Min BEFORE BAKING.
- 10. Rise 1 to 1 1/2 hrs on cornmeal covered parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- 11. Brush tops of loaves with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch cooked with 1 c. water
- (cooled). (opt)
- 12. Slash tops with a razor blade.
- 13. Slide loaf on the parchment paper into preheated oven onto baking stone and bake 30 min. Pour 1 or possibly 2 c. of water into a pan on the bottom of oven to create steam.
- Dough can be made in two batches and then combined for kneading and shaping.
- Each recipe will make 2 baguettes or possibly 2 round loaves or possibly 12 rolls.
- NOTES : This method is from Julia's "Way to Cook" book. It works well for every kind of bread you may want to make, including sweet breads.
