How to Make New French Boule

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

The origin of the traditional French house is a somewhat fuzzy story. Historians inform us that it was made in the early twelve hundreds by a nobleman in France named Basques. It was probably invented to replace the roux, which the aristocrats were using for years to cook tasty 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 doesn't play a part in the preparation of the first French bread. In fact, it is not even mentioned in the original recipe. The wheat flour that most contemporary recipes call for is what is used in many of today's breads and cakes. The interesting thing about this is that while it is called 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 home recipe, you will see that it contains oats, a corn starch base and wheat flour. One could say that the real French bread is made with corn meal or flax seed meal. That is not to say that contemporary flour has no place in a good French bread recipe, but I wouldn't count on it as a primary 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 type of sourdough. It's not. A German dutch-oven is made from a yeast strain known as levain which is not a part of the natural yeast living in our own bodies. German bread made out of this strain is never bread in the common sense of this word, but rather a very 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 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. If using a wire rack, put the finished French boule in the center of the rack. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes until done.

Once cool, remove the paper from the bottom of the loaf and discard the paper. Spoon the cooled 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's 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 need to make a double batch. Place the finished 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 turn the bag around so that the pieces are coming out in another direction. After about fifteen minutes have elapsed, remove the slices from the plastic bag and place them in your pre-heated oven, or serve them warm.
