Rustic Triangle Bread

At one point in time I was making fresh bread almost every day. I would make the dough during the week-end, cook one loaf or two the same day. I would shape the remaining dough in small balls, floured and threw them in ziplock bags in the fridge. Every evening, as soon as I get home from work I would take a couple of balls, shape them as naan breads and let them rise, while I start my supper. Just half hour later they are ready to be baked and in no time they were on the table. Having fresh bread on the table at every meal is wonderful!
We were eating too much bread and I was using only all-purpose flour, which is not the healthiest flour! So I started experimenting with various flour combinations. I have to say when you are used to eat light and fluffy white bread, it’s difficult to switch to“harder” flour overnight; you have to introduce them progressively. But I think I am getting there.
Here is a recipe that makes beautiful and tasty bread.
I used a stand mixer to prepare the dough.

Ingredients
Starter
½ cup all whole wheat flour
½ cup rye flour
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 cup room temperature water

Dough
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup spelt flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
½ cup luke warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1
1. Mix all the starter ingredients. Let the starter rise until it doubles volume (1-1.5 hours). Note that the rising duration depends a lot on the ambient temperature.

Step 2
2. Put all the dry dough ingredients in the dough machine and mix well.
3. Add the starter.
4. Turn the machine on.
5. Add the water little by little. The dough should be moist. If it is too hard add 1 or 2 tablespoon of water.
6. Knead for 13 minutes.
7. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles volume.
8. Tap it down to release air. You will obtain a flatten dough
9. Roll up the dough into a log of around 20 inches long.
10. Flatten it to approximately 1 inch then cut 10 triangles for medium pieces.
11. Let rise for another 45 minutes.
12. Make some steam by adding water to a hot baking dish that you place in the lower rack of the oven. This will help keep the bread moist.
13. Spray with water and bake 25 minutes in a 450F pre-heated oven.
