the recipe
As requested here is the recipe.
3 cups total liquid. This means 3 egg whites plus enough luke warm water to make 3 cups of liquid. I hope that makes sense.
1.5tblsp yeast
1.5tblsp kosher salt
6.5 to 7 cups all purpose unbleached flour(depending on altitude, i had to add a lil extra to make the dough a we bit dryer so it would hold its shape)
in a 5 qrt bowl, mix yeast,salt and liquids. Add in the flour and mix with either a wooden spoon, a machine or hands. Do NOT knead the dough.
The dough will be somewhat sticky and wet. If you have ever made bread from artisan bread in five min a day, this dough is based off of the master recipe. I just added a lil more flour to the dough so it was not as wet and sticky as the master recipe.
Once dough is mixed, cover, but not air tight and let rise till double in size. About 2 hours. i let mine rise on the counter for 15 hours cuz i had work and school. Nice sourdough flavor to it.
Once dough is ready, tear off 3-4 oz pieces and and shape into rolls. let rise for 30 min. brush with egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds or any seed mixture you like. if dough is still to sticky and not holding a shape, roll dough in a little flour.
i rolled my dough into a circle and folded with a 5 fold structure.
Preheat oven to 450 with baking stone on center shelf and a broiler pan under the stone. Once oven is done pre heating, place rolls on stone and pour one cup of hot water into NON GLASS broiler pan. bake for 25-30 min or until golden brown.
Enjoy
