CHEF ILONA DANIEL: High Hydration Tuscan Foccacia (Sciachiatta)

When I lived and worked in Italy, I made this bread everyday. It’s a slow fermented bread that is high in hydration.

I found this recipe in one of my first notebooks we cooks collect our recipes in. I have filled out several of these over the years. This is a favourite of mine!

CHEF ILONA DANIEL: Sciachiatta

31/4 cups (400g) All-purpose flour 

1 1/4 cups (320ml) Warm Water

1 Teaspoon Instant Dry yeast

1.5t sp (8g) Salt

In a bowl whisk flour together with the yeast. Pour in the water and stir using a spoon. Add the salt and stir to combine. You should obtain a sticky dough, don't try to knead or over-stir. Cover and let it chill for about 30 min, and then place in the fridge overnight. The day after your dough will look like the one in the dough will have doubled in size and full of  little bubbles.

Using a spoon, punch down the dough, trying to fold its edges into the center. Place over a tray that is generously spread with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some extra virgin olive oil on the top. Cover with a plastic wrap and wait for the second rise.

Now use your hands to flatten the dough and your fingers to poke the typical holes.

Bake at 450F for about 15 minutes or until golden.

This bread should be an inch thick when it is cooked and is the tradtional bread used for an authentic panini.

I made a grilled cheese sandwich with my homemade Tuscan bread. I made both sides of the bread cheesy garlic bread with brown butter and then put sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese on the inside. It is really good. Happy New Year’s Eve! #quarantine #tuscanbread #grilledcheese #imadethis #homemadebread #quarantinecooking https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKBdlyLWVQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

My personal treat / reward while cooking a large batch of #tomatosauce is the #onions/ large shallots that are dropped into the #tomatopurée to disperse flavor, once they’re thoroughly cooked they can be removed (or mashed in and incorporated into the sauce). I fish them out and use them as a sandwich filling between two slices of #garlic #tuscanbread .

Tuscan bread! This I’m excited for because I LOVE that Target tuscan bread but it’s not always in the store. If I can master this bread I can have it for a fraction of the price, which is great!I haven’t cut into it yet because it’s still cooling but I’m just so proud of how it came out. This is my first time using a Dutch oven too! #quarantine #quarantinebread #imadethis #achievement #bread #tuscanbread #artisanbread https://www.instagram.com/p/CYILfGUL3DW/?utm_medium=tumblr
