I sprinkle the salt on top, but do not mix in, and proceed to the next step.<\/li>\n<li>Let the dough rest (autolyse) for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Mixing on low or medium speed until the dough reaches a medium level of gluten development. This should only take about 3 or 4 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the dough to an oiled container (preferably a low, wide one so the dough can be folded without removing it from the container).<\/li>\n<li>Ferment at room temperature (72F \u2013 76F) for 2.5 hours, with folds at 50 and 100 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Divide it into 4 equal pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle the balls lightly with flour, cover loosely with plastic, and let rest for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Shape into batards or tight round loaves and let prove on parchment-lined baking sheet or a floured couche.<\/li>\n<li>Put the loaves into a large plastic bag or cover with plastic wrap and proof at room temperature for 2 \u2013 2.5 hours. Alternatively, the loaves can be proofed for about 1.5 hours at room temperature, then refrigerated for 2 \u2013 16 hours and baked directly out of the refrigerator; this will yield a tangier bread with a lovely, blistered crust.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, preheat the oven, with baking stone, to 400F. You will also need steam during the initial phase of baking, so prepare for this now by placing a skillet or pan in the bottom of the oven.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the proofed loaves onto a semolina-sprinkled peel or parchment (if not on a baking sheet already). Slash loaves as desired and put in oven.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for ~30 minutes, until the internal temperature is 202F.<\/li>\n<li>Cool on a wire rack. Don\u2019t cut until the loaves are completely cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norwich Sourdough (adapted from Vermont Sourdough in Bread: A Baker\u2019s Book of Techniques and Recipes by Jeffrey Hamelman) Yield: Four small round loaves) Time: Mix\/autolyse: 35 minutes First fermentation: 2.5 hours Divide, bench rest, and shape: 20 minutes Proof: 2.5 hours (or 1.5 hours, then retard for 2 \u2013 16 hours) Bake: 35 minutes Desired [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[75],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1768"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1768"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1769,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1768\/revisions\/1769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
