Pane Toscano

Tuscan bread

Recipe according to Jim Lahey’s book: The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook

400g (2 and 3/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour

270 water (1 cup + 1 tbsp) (room temp)

3g sea salt (1/2 tsp)

1.5g (1/2 tsp) fast-acting instant yeast

75g biga (naturally fermented dough)

Baked in preheated Dutch oven at 380F (55 min covered)

This was my first attempt at baking a Tuscan bread! A low hydration dough!

Purists will say that no salt is allowed but I followed Jim Lahey’s advice to add just a touch of salt to bring out the flavor!

Italian Fact of the Day #1:

Tuscan bread is not the wholegrain rustic fare American supermarkets offer, nor does it signify some white, round, crusty loaf of "Italian bread." It means it has no salt (and definitely no sugar). Beckons back to the time when the people in charge (some say it was the Pope, others say it was the mafia) put a tax on salt. So Tuscany said, "Fine. Eff it. We don't need salt."
