Ingredients
- 4 cups cornflour
- 2 cups rye flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (more or less)
- 1½ cup water (boiling)
- 1¼ cup water (warm at 95 F)
- 1 tablespoon salt coarse
- all-purpose flour for the work surface, or rye flour
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand-mixer, mix the corn flour and the boiling water and knead by hand for one minute so that all flour is moistened.
- Cover and let stand for an hour.
- It is important that the temperature of this mixture is less than 85 F before starting working it again.
- 15 minutes before the end of this resting time, mix the yeast and warm water and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Mix the yeast and water with the moistened corn flour and knead for 3 minutes using the flat beater.
- Add the rye flour and knead for 5 minutes, still with the flat beater.
- Switch with the dough hook and, gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour while kneading.
- You should get a smooth, sticky dough that is not difficult to work with. When you get this consistency, you have to stop incorporating all-purpose flour.
- Add the salt and knead for 3 minutes.
- Cover with a cloth and let the dough rise again for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C.
- Dust the work surface very generously with all-purpose or rye flour.
- Form one or two large balls and flatten them very slightly.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 F / 180 C, and bake for another 10 minutes.
