Sandwich Loaf (Formfranska)
Simple but delicious bread that’s perfect for toasting. About 75g of flour can be swapped with whole grain. Ingredients Single batch 12 g fresh yeast 300 g water (3 dl) 420 g special wheat flour (vetemjöl special) (7 dl) 15 g honey (1 tbsp) 10 g salt (1½ tsp) Double batch 25 g fresh yeast 600 g water (6 dl) 840 g special wheat flour (vetemjöl special) (14 dl) 30 g honey (2 tbsp) 20 g salt (1 tbsp) Instructions Crumble the yeast into a bowl and then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix the dough with a wooden spoon or spatula and blend thoroughly. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let rise for 1½ hours. After half the time, you can stir a few turns in the bowl – this makes the dough even smoother. Grease a bread pan that holds 1.5 liters. Turn the sticky dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it into a loaf. Place it in the bread pan. Cover the bread with a kitchen towel and let rise until the dough feels light and puffy, about 45–60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 225°C (437°F) when 20 minutes remain of the rising time. Spray or brush a little water on the bread and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the bread in the middle of the oven until it gets a nice color, 30–35 minutes. Remove the bread and turn it out of the pan. Let cool on a rack. Variations Graham + Durum This makes a more compact bread, but very tasty. The graham/durum distribution is somewhat of an estimate. ...
