Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb M&S Seeded & Malted Bread Flour
- 1/4 oz fast-action dried yeast
- 0.28 oz salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz warm water
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt; stir briefly to distribute the yeast evenly.
- 2Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
- 4Shape the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 5Punch down the risen dough gently to release air, then divide it into two equal pieces.
- 6Roll each piece into a long log about 30 cm (12 inches) in length; cover the logs with the towel and let them rest for an additional 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
- 7Preheat the oven to 392°F (390°F) with a baking sheet or parchment paper placed on the middle rack.
- 8Using kitchen scissors, make cuts into each log at a 45° angle, alternating the direction of each cut left and right to form the characteristic wheat‑stalk shape; aim for cuts about 2‑3 cm (1 inch) deep.
- 9Transfer the shaped logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion.
- 10Bake the bread stalks for 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 11Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes; this makes them easier to handle.
- 12Serve the warm wheat‑stalk baskets with a dish of salted butter or a small bowl of good olive oil for dipping.
- 13Tear the stalks apart, share with guests, and enjoy the rustic presentation.
