Walnut Craisin Bread - Easy to Make, Small Effort, Huge Reward : 5 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables
thumbnail

Vraiment facile à faire et super bon. À refaire !


Ingredients

  • 1 ⅝ cups or 390 mL or 390 g of water
  • 1 cup or 106 g of walnuts
  • 1 cup or 128 g of craisins, i.e. dried cranberries
  • 2 cups or 312 g all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
  • 1 cup or 156 g of whole grain flour
  • ¼ teaspoon or 1 g of instant yeast
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons or 9 g of salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into a small bowl. Add walnut and craisins and stir them a little to make sure they are wetted from all sides. If you don't do this step, you may get dry flour pockets in the creases of the walnuts and/or craisins.
  2. Let the water sit for a few minutes.
  3. Combine the white flour, whole grain flour, yeast and salt in the large plastic bowl.
  4. Mix these dry ingredients well with the fork.
  5. Pour the water, walnuts and craisins onto the flour mixture.
  6. Stir everything with the fork until it's well blended. No flour residue should be at the walls or bottoms of the bowl. Just shaggy and sticky dough. Make sure all the flour is worked into the dough glob.
  7. Cover the bowl with its plastic top.
  8. Place the bowl at a spot that has and maintains room temperature. 70F / 25C is ideal. I always put it next to a heating vent in the center portion of our house.
  9. Let the dough rise for at least 12 hours, preferably about 18 hours. Which means, forget about the bread for a while.
  10. The dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. The dough should be covering the entire bottom of the bowl.
  11. If the inside of the top of the bowl is wet, dry it of, place it upside down on the table and flour it. Alternatively, you can use a large cutting board.
  12. Dig your hands underneath the dough from all sides until you can lift all of it out.
  13. Place the dough on the flour covered surface.
  14. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the dough, then fold it over on itself twice.
  15. Sprinkle some more flour on top.
  16. Wash the large bowl, dry it, and place it over the dough, i.e. cover the dough.
  17. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
  18. Lift the bowl up from the top. Turn the bowl around and then place the dough into it. I usually place the side that was facing upwards downwards.
  19. Cover the bowl with its top and place it in a location that gets warm when preheating the oven.
  20. Let the dough rise for 90 minutes.
  21. Put the glass or ceramic pot together with its top into the oven.
  22. Heat up the oven to 400 F / 200 C.
  23. Let the oven and the pot heat up for 30 minutes.
  24. Using the oven mittens, remove the pot from the oven and place it on top of the oven. Take the lid off and place it on the side. Remember that the pot and the lid are hot, so don't place them on anything that can melt.
  25. Remove the plastic lid from the plastic bowl with the bread.
  26. With the silicone spatula, drop the entire dough ball/glob into the hot pot.
  27. Sprinkle some flour on top.
  28. Close the metal lid and place the pot back in the oven.
  29. Bake if for 30 minutes with the lid closed.
  30. Bake it for another 15 minutes without the lid.
  31. Again with the oven mittens, take the pot out of the oven and remove the lid.
  32. Keep using the mittens to remove the bread with both hands from the pot. The bread may sometimes sticks a little to the bottom. Be careful to avoid touching the hot pot.
  33. Lay the bread on a grid or screen to let it cool down.
  34. After 1-2 hours you need to decide whether you prefer a hard crunchy crust or a softer crust.
  35. For a hard crunchy crust you are done.
  36. For a softer crust, place the bread in one of those flimsy shopping bags and loosely tie its handles together. That will keep more moisture in the bread and creates a nice not to hard crust. (Do not apply the bag too early. It can cause a too high moisture level in the bread and the bread will have a very slight soggy feel to it.)
  37. Let the bread cool down entirely. I typically wait until the next day.

Même si le résultat est décevant sur la forme, le goût est vraiment très bon. À refaire.


Ingredients

  • 400g flour Type 550
  • 275g cold Water
  • 3g fresh yeast
  • 8g Salt

Instructions

  1. Mix flour with water and let it rest for 20min (autolysis).
  2. Add yeast and salt and knead for 5 min by hand.
  3. Let it rest for 30 min, then fold it from the outside of bowl into the middle for three or four times.
  4. Ferment the dough for 12 hours (overnight) at room temperature.
  5. The next morning heat baking stone in the oven to 250°C.
  6. In the meantime divide the dough into two pieces and press each piece into a square of 15 cm x 15 cm.
  7. Spread a thin layer of oil on top of one of the square.
  8. Remove a part of the oil again with a paper towel, to ensure that it is a really thin layer!
  9. Now place the other dough square on top and cut it into four squares.
  10. Place two squares upright with a tip facing upright.
  11. Proof on a couche for 35 min.
  12. Bake the loaves on the hot stone for 22 min at 250°C with steam, until the crust is golden brown.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 cup (209 grams) virgin coconut oil, measured solid
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (125 grams) packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (96 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (80 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. In a large heat-safe bowl combine the chocolate and coconut oil and microwave in 30 second bursts until melted and smooth.
  3. Let cool slightly before adding in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and yolk, and vanilla.
  4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 35 minutes or until the brownies are set but moist crumbs are still attached when inserting a toothpick.
  6. Let cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. These are very moist brownies, they may be easier to cut chilled.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

C'est testé et c'est très bon. Le goût de coco rappelle les Bounty.
