Telera Bread
From 'Tu Casa Mi Casa' by Enrique Olvera
Perfect for serving alongside soupy dishes, as this bread is great at soaking up the leftover plate juices.Ingredients
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 315ml warm water
- 530g white flour
- 78g fresh yeast
- 1 tsp salt
Recipe
- Dissolve the instant yeast in 75ml of the warm water to activate. Set aside.
- Combine the flour and salt on a work surface and make a well in the centre. Slowly mix in the remaining 240ml water, the fresh yeast, and the hydrated yeast. Work the dough for 10 minutes until the mix is even and homogenous, adding a bit more water or flour if necessary. The dough should be tacky but not sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide into 12 portions.
- Shape each portion into a ½ inch thick oval about 4 inches long.
- Place the ovals on a baking sheet and using a paring knife score 2 parallel lines on the top of each roll, lengthwise. Cover with a damp tea towel.
- Once doubled in size, the rolls are ready to bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Spray with a little water before baking.
