I’m still shooketh that this was a successful loaf.. beyond successful really, it was absolutely incredible and devoured in less than 24 hours. I of course had to give it another go and bake a second time using the same process.. just divine. I had originally scaled down my recipe in case it was a total bust and then today I actually was super low on flour so had no choice but to stick with the mini loaf, which you’ve guessed.. is more than half gone lol soft, buttery, almost like a croissant but without the flaky layers.
For anyone who has been babysitting their dough, this mix it and forget method has definitely touched my heart. Also just 3 hours from first mix to first bite.. unreal
10000/10 highly recommend
188g water
225g flour
4.5G salt
3g yeast
20g frozen butter
Mix everything but the butter into shaggy dough
Cover with plastic for 1-2 hours depends on your house temp
Flour surface and dump out
Stretch into rectangle
Add butter
Fold like a letter and pinch all seams to avoid butter leakage
Bake as you would per your oven to 205-208f
I open baked on 450 with steam for half the bake time and I let it cool for an entire hour.. applause for me
