The why

This recipe's steps explained by Sitor (AI). The quantities stay Michele's.

Machine Sheet

Production Mode: Manual

Hourly Yield: ≈ 40-80 pcs/hour (by hand)

No machine active: manual work. Turn on the Machine Park in the Lab.

With poolish (100 g flour + 100 g water + 0.5 g yeast, made the evening before). Enriched and soft dough, sweet. Poolish: quantities tested and confirmed by Michele.

Useful terms *

  • * Autolyse: an initial rest of flour and water (20-40 min) before salt and yeast; it develops gluten and makes the dough more extensible.
  • * Poolish: a liquid preferment (equal parts flour and water + a little yeast), ripens 8-16 h; adds aroma and softness.
  • * Full development (incordare): knead until the dough is smooth, elastic and pulls away from the bowl (gluten fully developed).
  • * Final proof (appretto): the second proof after shaping, before baking.
