If peasants made any bread whatsoever, it was probably unleavened flat bread or griddle cakes. My neighbor came back from hunting Added that to dough, and ended up with pheasant bread. First you knead the flours and water only, let that sit for 40 minutes, add your pre-ferment, salt and yeast, knead again, let rise for 3 hours with 2 folds in between, form round, proof in baskets for 8 hours in the fridge, and go from there.

Thank you so so much for sharing. My grandson is pretty sure I am the best baker now and all because of this wonderful recipe. Daughter in law loves it too. Thank you so much for your feedback! I added 1. Thank you for sharing! I made this recipe and ended up using 5 cups of flour altogether.
I mixed with my kitchen aid. So I added flour little by little approximately 5 cups before I decided it was okay to take out of the bowl. Then I let it rise and it did great. Poured onto a floured surface, kneaded it 5 times and placed into a bowl to rise again. The second rise brought it almost to the edge of what I consider a fairly large bowl. Just baked it and it was perfect and so delicious! Thank you so much for commenting and leaving your feedback.
So glad it was perfect and delicious! Very tempting , I had to force myself to follow the recipe the first couple of times and I just love how the bread turns out. The crust as that extra crispy and is so delightful.. I have to admit I still have a bit of temptation to not have a wet dough and the instinct to need still rising up but so far I have not made regular bread since finding this recipe. I made it yesterday, loose batter and slightly overproofed… very flat bake.
My family loved it one even said it reminded her of sourdough I decided to try it again, today. Batter was only a bit tighter but the 2nd rise was better than yesterday. Presently waiting on results. Update to come. Thank you for pointing that out. I have changed it, thanks again for pointing that out. I made this recipe and I loved it. This is fun and easy to make. I am a seasoned baker and had nothing but trouble with this recipe.
It was so soupy. There was no way I could even divide the dough. I just poured it into the bowl for baking. And forget that pretty top…. When I compare this recipe to other boule, there is a lot more water in this recipe. Do you have the correct amount of liquid listed??
Did you add the 3 cups flour and 1 cup water and then the remaining cup of flour? What type of flour did you use? Did you make any other changes to the recipe? I e made a recipe similar to this many many times but I bake it in a Pyrex bowl.
Sometimes depending on weather or other unknown factors I have to add more flour. It needs to be the consistency of maybe dumplings for chicken and dumplings….. Maybe sticky like a canned biscuit dough. The recipe lists 2 cups of water. I added the flour gradually as listed and mine was soupy and flat also.
Hi Nicole, thank you for your comment. Did you use all 4 cups and it was soupy? Or was it soupy after the three and you forgot to ads the fourth? Also when is your yeast from? I had the same issue. The ratio is too wet. Yeast is fresh and I followed your instructions to the tee. The breads usually contained simple ingredients and were often made with whole-grains. The type of bread made depended on the types of grains that were readily available or were commonly grown in a particular region.
Peasant breads were often shaped into rounds or rectangles and baked as hearth breads or in community ovens, since home ovens would not have been common. Today, the term still refers to rustic breads made with simple ingredients and although some loaves are still baked the old-fashioned way using open fireplaces or large brick ovens, most are baked in modern, conventional ovens.
Peasant breads often feature a thick, crusty exterior and a hearty, flavorful crumb. Peasant Bread Reviews. Rate It! Add A Review Now! Comment on this. Follow Us! Beef Cooking Times.
