Pan sencillo

“Pan Sencillo” is an outstanding accompaniment to anything grilled. The sourdough and the whole grain give the bread a tangy note and make the crumb fluffy and moist. 

Once baked, the crust’s toasted aroma permeates the crumb, resulting in a malty, nutty smelling aroma. 

Additionally, you can use a long cold method for the dough.This leads to better aroma development in the crumb while also saving you time on baking day. The dough is simply removed from the fridge, divided, twisted and baked.

TA: 175 DT: 24-27°C MT: 12 minutes slow / 2 minutes fast

Instructions:

  • Mix all ingredients slowly for 12 minutes.

  • Place the dough in an oiled tub, cover it and let it rise/rest. 
  • Fold after 40 minutes and again after another 40 minutes. 
  • Divide the dough into 3 pieces of equal size, twist them and lay them on a linen cloth. 
  • Once the dough is 3/4 proofed, put the loaves into the oven.
  • Bake at 250°C with strong steam, reducing the temperature to 235°C.
  • Release the steam halfway through the baking time, then bake until well-browned – total baking c. 30 minutes.
