| Instructions: Divide the dough
into 26.5-oz. pieces. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then shape
the pieces into rounds. Proof the rounds with low humidity until
doubled in size. Score each round several times. Place the loaves
in a 485°F (250°C) oven with three seconds of steam.
Lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C), and bake for 30
minutes. Lower the temperature again to 270°F (140°C),
and bake an additional 20 minutes. If you have an oven with a
strong heating element, you many have to reduce the baking
temperature by about 10 degrees to produce a good crust without
burning the loaves. Yields about 20 loaves. Selling suggestions: This bread is flavorful alone or can accompany salads as a slice or as croutons. Croissan'Time sells many of its specialty breads, including the carrot and herb bread, as half loaves so customers can choose different types to add variety to their meals and parties. |
