affrecaBase is from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day
Start with the the Light Wheat Bread Recipe - (2 pounds worth, makes two loaves)
340 g water - microwave for 30 s to make luke warm
In mid sized bowl (I bough a set with lids because I want to use less plastic wrap), weigh out
65 g whole wheat flour
390 g all purpose flour
5 g yeast (1 tsp for me)
10 g salt (1+ tsp of table salt)
Mix well, then add water. Mix until well mixed, but does not require kneading. Put on lid, let sit out in warm kitchen for 2 hours. Place lidded bowl with dough in fridge at least overnight, up to two weeks.
When ready to bake, pull out roughly have the dough (1 poundish) onto silpad. Sprinkle with flour, then flip, sprinkle and roll out to roughly paper sized. Add 1/8 cup sunflower seeds and 1/8 cup chopped dried cranberries on top of dough. Roll up the dough along the short way, and tuck in the ends. Wipe down the log with wet hands and score three times. Put a large bowl over the dough and let rest.
At 70 minutes, start preheating the oven to 450 F. Make sure there's a rack with the baking down in the middle of the oven, and the pan in the bottom rack. After 20 minutes, or when the oven is preheated, microwave 1 cup water in a mug for two minutes. Pour the water in the lower pan and place the dough on silpad on the baking stone. Bake for ~35 minutes, remove and try not to tear into the bread right way. Bread makes really good grilled cheese sandwiches or tuna melts.
