Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 200 g flour fresh milled spelt
- 320 g water
- 100 g active sourdough starter
- 9 g salt
- 5 g sugar or honey
- 10 g olive oil optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spelt flour, water, sourdough starter, salt, sugar or honey, and olive oil until no dry flour remains. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform 2-3 sets of stretch and folds during the next few hours. Grab one side of the dough, stretch it up, and fold it over itself. Turn the bowl and repeat. Cover between each set.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 3-6 hours until slightly puffy and airy.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, divide into 8-10 pieces, and shape them into loose balls. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Flatten each ball slightly, fold one side towards the center, and roll them into ovals. Place seam-side up on a lined baking tray.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise for 1-3 hours, or refrigerate overnight to bake the next day.
- Preheat the oven: Conventional at 220°C (425°F) or Fan oven at 200°C (390°F). Place an empty baking dish in the bottom rack for steam creation.
- Right before baking, score the rolls with a vertical line, then pour a cup of boiling water into the hot dish. Bake the rolls: Conventional for 18-22 minutes, Fan for 16-20 minutes.
- For a nice open top, make a second score after 3-5 minutes of baking. Once they are done, cool the rolls on a wire rack.
