How to Make Fresh French Boule

Is it possible to make the famed French Boule? I was recently asked that very question. I was a little surprised at the response. It turns out there's really a way to create this delectable bread. Here is how it is done.

The origin of the traditional French home is a somewhat fuzzy story. Historians tell us that it was created 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 didn't have enough 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 fact, it is not even mentioned in the original recipe. The wheat flour that many modern recipes call for is what is used in many of today's cakes and breads. The interesting thing about this is that while it is known as French boule (in French), it really contains oats.

Oats are not technically grass, but they are a much better medium for gluten to be processed quickly into gluten-free flour. If you look at the back label on a excellent French house recipe, you will see that it contains oats, a corn starch base and wheat germ. One could say that the real French bread is made with corn meal or flax seed meal. That's not to say that modern flour has no place in a excellent French bread recipe, but I wouldn't count on it as a key ingredient.

There are two varieties of bread, that you might recognize when shopping in a French butcher or deli: German and Dutch-oven. Most people today believe a German dutch-oven is a sort of sourdough. It's not. A German dutch-oven is made from a yeast strain known as levain that's not part of the natural yeast living in our bodies. German bread made out of this breed is never bread in the typical sense of this word, but instead an extremely sweet, dense yeast bread with a tangy taste and lots of structure.

For a quick, light toast, mix one tablespoon of brown sugar with one tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Add one tablespoon of instant coffee into the mixture and stir until everything gets smooth and fluffy. Line a baking pan with a very lightly moistened pastry shell and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When using a wire rack, put the finished French boule at the center of the rack. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes .

릴게임사이트 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 disk. With a moist towel, gently roll the ball of dough until it is about twice the thickness of a cookie cutter and place it into your refrigerator. It is possible to freeze the finished French Boule in an airtight container to keep it fresh until needed.

For the next step, you'll 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. With a sharp knife, start scraping the bread in one direction, and flip the bag around so that the slices are coming out in another direction. After about fifteen minutes have elapsed, remove the slices in the plastic bag and place them in your pre-heated oven, or serve them warm.
