Ingredients
  

  • All Purpose Flour / Maida - 500 gm
  • Vital Wheat Gluten - 20 gm
  • Active Sourdough Starter - 150 gm
  • Water - 325 - 400 ml
  • Salt- 2 tsp
  • Oil - 15 gm

Instructions
 

  • Mix together flour, gluten, salt.
  • Add starter and 3/4th water and oil.
  • Mix to form a shaggy dough. Add water if needed to bring together all dry ingredients.
  • Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Stretch and fold the dough every 15 minutes for 2 hours.
  • At the end of two hours, do the final stretch and fold and cover the dough with cling film and set it aside until double in volume.
  • It may take anywhere from three to five hours depending on the climate.
  • Now take it onto counter, lightly dust it and divide it into two equal portions.
  • If making baguettes, divide each portion into four equal portions.
  • Otherwise, if making sandwich rolls, divide each into two. 
  • Shape them into baguette or sandwich rolls as shown in video.
  • Arrange on lined baking tray, cover and set aside until they are 1.5 times the volume.
  • It may take one hour to two hours depending on the climate.
  • Preheat your oven to 250°C. Place an empty tray on the lower rack while preheating.
  • Score the loaves. Place them on the middle rack. Pull out the bottom tray and pour hot water into it.
  • Be careful because it would splash. Try lining your glass door with a towel to avoid the hot water touching the hot glass.
  • Close the oven door immediately and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the water tray and bake for further ten minutes or until the bread is nicely browned.
  • Remove from oven and tap to see whether they sound hollow.
  • Let them cool on wire rack.
