Step cooking
Opara
- In a bowl, mix 5 g of ripe wheat or rye starter culture and 100 ml of room temperature water.
- Add 100 g of wheat flour. It is recommended to use flour of high grades, especially fine grinding. Stir and leave the dough for 8-12 hours at room temperature.
Dough
- In a deep dish, mix previously cooked and brewed dough, 250 g of barley flour, 50 g of whole-wheat rye flour, 150 g of whole-wheat flour, 275 ml of room temperature water. Mix thoroughly and knead the dough to a homogeneous mass (you can use a dough mixer). Leave the dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Add 12 g of salt and 25 g of honey to the dough, continue to knead the dough thoroughly for 10-15 minutes.
- Add 20 g of olive oil to the resulting dough. Grease a deep bowl with vegetable oil (you can use any), transfer the resulting dough into a bowl.
- Close the dough in a bowl with cling film and leave to roam in a warm place for 2-2.5 hours. The dough should rise and become magnificent. Put the rising dough on the table, after sprinkling flour on the surface. Divide the dough into two equal parts with a dough spatula, roll and level the dough pieces into balls. Leave the dough to "rest" for 8-10 minutes.
- Shape the loafs of bread into the shape of your baskets for proofing the dough. Place the dough in baskets and leave for 2 hours. The volume of the test should increase, cracks will go along its surface.
- Make sure that the dough is ready for baking - press it with your finger, it should be springy and soft. Cut the dough with a knife. Preheat the oven to 240 degrees.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet and place in the oven to bake. The first 15 minutes, bake the bread under the hood, then lower the temperature to 200 degrees and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Dakos
- Cut the cooled bread into large slices. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the slices of bread on a baking sheet and place in the oven until they are dry. After that, let the crackers cool.
- Place the cooled crackers for a couple of seconds in room temperature water. Sprinkle with olive oil, sprinkle with spices to your taste.
