To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook rustic loaf using 8 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Rustic Loaf:

1. Get 25 grams dehydrated starter
2. Take 75 grams lukewarm water for starter
3. Prepare 1/4 tsp high quality instant yeast
4. Take 400 grams bread flour
5. Prepare 100 grams whole wheat flour
6. Take 300 grams water
7. Make ready 2 tsp salt
8. Get 1 1/2 tbs ground rosemary (optional)

Over the course of the initial period of bulk fermentation the character of the dough transforms, and toward the end of the first ten hours it's starting to feel very. Spray loaf with water and place in preheated oven. If you ask me what makes a loaf looking like a typical Italian rustic sourdough, I would say that is the absence of scoring. Quite often loaves are cooked seam-side up, and not seam-side down like in.

Steps to make Rustic Loaf:

1. Rehydrate starter with 75 grams water, set aside. (Or 125 grams 100% hydration starter)
2. Mix both flours, then add remaining water until it forms a cohesive ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. Combine starter and yeast (and rosemary if desired), then add to flour ball (mixing with bare hands at first worked best for me). Once moisture is absorbed, mix with dough hook for 9 minutes.
4. Mid-way through the kneeding process add salt.
5. Once dough ball passes the window pane test, set aside and cover in a bowl with plastic wrap until doubled in volume. For my starter, this takes several (4-6) hours.
6. Gently deflate then form into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes covered.
7. Shape into a boule or batard, place on sheet of parchment paper, then cover until doubled in size (this should take about half as long as the first rise).
8. Preheat oven with baking stone to 525°, placing a broiling pan on bottom shelf.
9. When done rising, slash, lightly spritz loaf with water, then sprinkle with coarse salt to taste.
10. Using peel, slide loaf (still on parchment) onto stone, pour 3/4 cups of boiling water into broiling pan and immediately reduce temp to 475°. Be careful not to drop water on oven window, or it will shatter. The immediate steam generated can be dangerous, so i use a long necked flower watering pot for this.
11. Cook until internal thermometer reads 200° (I don't insert thermometer until crust has formed (about 15 minutes)).
12. Let cool completely on wire rack. Dont be tempted to cut into it while it's still warm, because the internal heat is still cooking and releasing moisture in a controlled manner.
13. Dinner Roll Option: Roll 80 gram balls and proof. Turn oven down to 450°, spritz rolls with water then crack salt over them. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool on rack 15 minutes before serving.
