Cooking

step-0
Prepare in a bowl the sourdough (starter) from 1/4 tsp dry yeast, 85 ml of water and 85 g wheat flour. Get a thick paste. The dough cover with plastic wrap (I have a food container, closed the lid) and let "ripen" in refrigerator for 24 hours.
step-1
Knead the dough from sourdough and other components. I kneaded by hand, the dough turned out very soft, even lush. According to the recipe, the dough was salesianos in a mixer: combine yeast and water and add the flour at low speed (Kenwood Level 1) knead for 2-3 minutes, then add the yeast mixture, salt, sugar and lastly the fat is in small pieces. Continue to knead for 5-6 minutes on level 3, knead until the dough becomes smooth.
step-2
The finished dough cover and let rise in a warm (draft-free) place for about 45 minutes. Then divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape the loaves oblong - long tube, with rounded ends, resembling a baguette. Bread leave for another proofing for one hour.
step-3
The most interesting part of the recipe: before baking each loaf to put thoroughly washed and boiled in water twine. That you can use as linen twine, lace kitchen for tying meat rolls. My choice fell on the twine of cotton, and as he was plump, I left it in one layer (in the recipe twine folded in half). The twine is removed after baking of bread.
step-4
Here are the loaves before loading into the oven. Bake at T-210* until Golden brown.
step-5
And the most memorable moment for me, when I pulled the baking sheet with the baguettes, and the exclamation of delight was heard in my kitchen; like my son, when something gives him great joy: "Yes, Yes...", and this right arm, bent at the elbow, jumped up and abruptly fell down. Cunning ploy was a success! :) Wet twine helps to split (or rupture) of the test to the point of contact and contributes to the uneven pattern on the bread turns out very natural and really different from the symmetric incisions on the loaves-baguettes (usually on the dough before baking the applied cuts with a knife, this recipe does not do).
step-6
And in the context!
