OLIVE OIL BREAD

Biga Starter:

3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp SAF yeast or bread machine yeast

Dough:

1/4 cup water
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 tsp vital wheat gluten (optional)
1 1/4 tsp SAF yeast or 1 3/4 tsp bread machine yeast

1. Place Biga Starter ingredients into the bread pan. Put on DOUGH cycle for 10 minutes only. Stop and unplug the machine. Let biga starter sit in the machine for 12 to 18 hours.

2. After 12-18 hours, break up the dough in the machine into 6 or 8 pieces. It will be very sticky so do the best you can.

3. Place all the dough ingredients in the pan and set the program for DARK CRUST, 1 1/2 POUND LOAF on FRENCH BREAD cycle and start.

4. When the baking cycle is complete, immediately remove the bread from the pan and place on a rack. Let cool before slicing.

Sarah Bourbon (Texas) says:

I love this bread, but I have found a couple of hints worth passing on: the Biga starter is much easier to handle if you coat your hands with olive oil first. Also 1/4 cup water does not seem to be enough. I have to use 1/2 cup.
