Step 2: Start the dough
Dough
- bread flour300 g
- salt6 g
- yeast mixture
Add the bread flour and salt to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and work the dough with your hands until a cohesive mass forms and no dry flour remains in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Note: Letting the dough rest will allow the flour to hydrate which is what causes gluten development. This will make the dough easier to work with when we add the butter.
