Time 2h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 (6 ounce) containers plain yogurt
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed, divided
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
cold water as needed

Steps:

  • Heat yogurt in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave or on the stovetop until lukewarm.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in yogurt, 2 cups flour, sugar, oil, and salt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let rise in until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Shape dough into 8 loaves; brush each lightly with cold water. Cut 3 diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf with a sharp knife. Let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush loaves with cold water.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until they sound hollow when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes, brushing with water twice during baking time.

MOCK SOURDOUGH FRENCH BREAD



Mock Sourdough French Bread image

I found the original version of this recipe in the Betty Crocker Bread Cookbook about 25-30 years ago and have pretty much given up on making my own sourdough, since this is a good as all but the very best sourdough breads around. Cooking time includes rising time.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 small loaves, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) cartons plain yogurt (Non-fat works great!)
2 packages active dry yeast
1 package expired dry yeast, for flavor (optional)
1/4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 -5 cups unbleached flour
cold water
fresh coarse ground black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat yogurt to lukewarm (110 degrees F).
  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in yogurt, sugar, salt, oil and 2 cups flour, and beat until smooth.
  • Stir in enough additional flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, to obtain a firm, non-sticky sough.
  • Place in oiled bowl, and turn to oil top of dough.
  • Cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled in volume.
  • Punch down dough, divide into 8 equal parts, knead each one, and flatten into a 4"x6" rectangle.
  • Roll up, beginning on one of the long sides, excluding any air bubbles.
  • Pinch edge of dough firmly into roll to seal, press each end firmly to seal, and fold ends under.
  • Place loaves, seam side down, on greased cookie sheets sprinkled with cornmeal.
  • Brush or spray tops with cold water, and cut three diagonal slices across top of each loaf with a sharp knife or razor blade.
  • Let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush or spray loaves with cold water, and sprinkle pepper into slashes if desired.
  • Bake until loaves sound hollow when rapped on the bottom or when they reach an internal temperature of 190 degrees F on an instant reading thermometer, about 35 minutes, brushing or spraying with cold water every 10 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack before wrapping.
  • Recipe can be doubled successfully, and bread freezes very well.
  • Thaw to room temperature and heat unwrapped in oven to restore the crisp crust.
