This was a batch from the spring, where I overdid the salt a touch.

This was a batch from the spring, where I overdid the salt a touch.

Adapted from Billy Parisi's recipie, without the story and with a better sequencing of instructions.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 1/4 cup lukewarm water
  • 3/4 tsp yeast
  • 1 tsp honey or barley malt syrup
  • 3 cup bread flour
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt (and more for sprinkling on top)
  • 2 tbsp good extra virgin olive oil (and more for the pan)

Salamoia

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add water, honey and yeast to stand mixer with dough hook, and whisk. Let sit for 3 to 4 minutes, or until dissolved.
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix on low speed until incorporated, then medium-low for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Cover with plastic, and let stand for 60-90 minutes, until doubled or tripled in size.
  4. Add 2-3 table spoons of olive oil to a baking sheet tray. Spread and stretch the dough to fill the tray.
  5. Cover with a towel, and let sit for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 425.
  7. Using fingers, press dimples into the dough.
  8. Whisk together olive oil, salt and water to make Salmoia, and pour over dough.
  9. Sprinkle top with sea salt.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
