Directions

  1. 1Bloom the yeast by adding 10 grams of yeast and 23 grams of sugar to 297 grams of water at 90°F and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. 2In a bowl, add 500 grams of bread flour and 6 grams of salt.
  3. 3Add the bloomed yeast mixture to the bowl and mix with your hands until you get a shaggy dough.
  4. 4Turn the dough out onto a work surface and begin kneading it for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  5. 5Form the dough into a ball, place it in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for one hour.
  6. 6Divide the risen dough into eight equal pieces.
  7. 7Shape each piece into a ball by folding the sides up and into themselves and lightly pressing.
  8. 8Place the dough balls seam-side down on a baking sheet, cover with a damp dish towel, and let them rest for 10 minutes.

  10. 10Press a floured thumb and index finger through the center of each dough ball to create a hole.
  11. 11Gently twirl the dough around with two fingers to slightly enlarge the hole.
