Ingredients
7 items- 250 gFarina multicerealiRich multi-cereal flour containing various grains and seeds
- 250 gFarina Senatore CappelliAncient durum wheat flour with high protein content
- 250 gFarina FarroSpelt flour
- 250 gFlourItalian type 0 white flour (moderately refined)
- 700 gWaterCold water; use at 65% hydration initially, then add remaining 5% gradually
- 3 gDry Brewer's YeastDry yeast; can substitute with 9 g fresh yeast
- 25 gSaltFine salt
Method
- Combine all four flours (multigrain, Senatore Cappelli, spelt, type 0) in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the dry yeast and mix briefly to distribute.
- Add 650 g of cold water and start mixing on low speed. Once the water is absorbed, increase speed and gradually add the remaining 50 g of water as a stream.
- Add the salt and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Perform a series of folds on the dough (lamination-style folds), then transfer it to a tall container, cover, and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 20 hours (cold fermentation).
- Turn the cold dough out onto a floured surface, divide into two pieces, and shape into long loaves (filoncini) or your preferred form.
- Place the loaves on a floured tray, dust with additional flour, and score the tops with a sharp blade.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 230–240°C for 10–15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180°C and continue baking until the loaves are golden and sound hollow when tapped (approximately 20–30 more minutes).
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
