How to Make New French Boule
Is it possible to create the famous French Boule? I was recently asked that very question. I was a little surprised at the response. It turns out there is a real way to make this delectable bread. Here is how it's done.
The origin of the traditional French house is a somewhat hazy story. Historians inform us that it was made in the early twelve hundreds by a nobleman in France called Basques. It was probably invented to replace the roux, which the aristocrats were using for years to cook delicious pastries and desserts but did not have time to prepare themselves. They got another idea and made some roux bread for themselves.
It is important to note here that white bread flour does not play a role in the preparation of the first French bread. In actuality, it's not even mentioned in the original recipe. The wheat flour that most modern recipes call for is what is used in many of today's breads and cakes. The interesting thing about this is that while it's called French boule (in French), it actually contains oats.
Oats are not technically bud, but they are a much better medium for gluten to be processed immediately into gluten-free flour. If you examine the back label on a good French house recipe, you will see that it contains oats, a corn starch base and wheat germ. One could say that the French bread is made with corn meal or flax seed meal. That's not to say that contemporary flour has no place in a excellent French bread recipe, but I would not count on it as a primary ingredient.
There are two types of bread, that you might recognize when buying a French butcher or deli: German and Dutch-oven. Most people today think that a German dutch-oven is a sort of sourdough. It is not. A German dutch-oven is made from a yeast strain called levain that's not part of the natural yeast living in our own bodies. German bread made with this breed is never bread in the common sense of this word, but instead an extremely sweet, dense yeast bread with a tangy taste and lots of structure.
For a fast, light toast, mix one tablespoon of brown sugar with one tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee to the mixture and stir until everything becomes smooth and fluffy. 먹튀 Line a baking pan with a very lightly moistened pastry shell and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When using a wire rack, then place the finished French boule in the middle of the rack. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes .
Once cool, remove the paper from the bottom of the loaf and discard the paper. Spoon the chilled mixture into your hands and form a ball with your fingers, then flatten it into a disc. Using a wet towel, gently roll the ball of dough until it is about twice the thickness of a cookie cutter and place it into your refrigerator. You can freeze the completed French Boule in an airtight container to keep it fresh until needed.
For the next step, you will want to make a double batch. Place the completed French Bread into one of your re-sealable plastic bags, then cut off about a half inch of the bottom of the loaf. Using a sharp knife, begin scraping the bread in 1 direction, and turn the bag around so that the pieces are coming out in a different direction. After about fifteen minutes have elapsed, remove the slices from the plastic bag and put them in your pre-heated oven, or serve them warm.
