hey what’s up do you think sourdough is a slow and complicated think again this is pea bread [Music] fluffy fast fermented you can bake it the same day or next week even without oven let’s make something simple ancient and absolutely addictive shall we in a mediumsized bowl I’m going to add 7 g salt followed by 15 g sugar you can use honey if you like 180 g water this is a 55% hydration 18 to 20 g extra virgin olive oil you can use normal olive oil if you want to my beautiful active starter 190 g for this recipe i’m going to mix everything i’ve used a mix of discard and active starter you can use all active or all discard and finally 320 g flour a mix of whole wheat and bread flour i have 20 gram whole wheat and 300 gram bread flour mixing time it’s not going to feel like a 55% hydration dough cuz we have more starter and we have olive oil in this recipe [Music] now you can use a little bit of flour and bring the dough on the surface and time to knead this bad boy you can add more flour if it feels little bit more sticky don’t forget the scraper [Music] i’m going to let it sit for 30 minutes then I’m going to continue kneading after 20 minutes I lost my patient so let’s see how is the dough did you see that this is the result of resting now with the scraper I’m going to release it from the counter do you see how beautiful this dough is i can knead it just little bit more [Music] the dough is more playable smooth and elastic and that’s what we want and that’s it if it’s difficult for you to handle this dough you can reduce the hydration as simple as this now into the bowl and I’m going to let it rise transfer it in a smaller bowl or a container to see how it rise properly temperature plays the main role in my room temperature it takes only 2 hours to ferment for this dough we need like 50 to 70% rice again I’m going to flour up the surface the dough should be airy and puffy gorgeous and now cut it into the pieces and round it up [Music] can be eight equally sized pieces [Music] [Music] and then round them up with the help of the surface simply just fold all the side to the center flip it and with the hole of the surface round them out first try to push it under itself and then lower the pressure and just ground it up as simple as this now cover them up and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes 15 minutes later I’m going to bring this bad boy on the surface and just open it up roll it up with the small roller i couldn’t find my small roller so I’m using this one [Music] and that’s it let them rest for another 10 to 15 minutes then time to bake them or pan fry them bake one to 2 minutes each side at 230° C [Music] you can make any sandwich you like with this it’s like a pocket that you can fill with anything you like can be even ham and cheese the traditional hummus feta cheese anything but to me a little bit of any kind of cheese can be fed can be cheddar little bit of tomato little bit of basil or walnuts would be nice and then extra virgin olive oil i mean look at it [Music] amazing that little amounts of whole wheat bring lots of flavor to this bread and then extra virgin olive oil it’s fluffy a bit chewy soft fermented very well i love it go make it and you will thank me later [Music] [Music]
