Servings: 4 bowls
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Rise Time (Bulk Ferment) 11 hours
Total Time 11 hours 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 100 grams starter
  • 240 grams warm water
  • 80 grams warm milk
  • 24 grams sugar
  • 360 grams bread flour
  • 140 grams all purpose flour
  • 9 grams fine salt
  • cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  • Whisk the starter, milk, water and sugar together with a fork.
  • Add the flours and salt. Stir with the fork until a stiff dough forms then finish by hand. Cover and let rest 30 minutes. Knead four or five times in the bowl to bring the mixture together into a smoother ball.
  • Cover and let rise 8-10 hours at room temperature (68-70 degrees).
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper dusted with cornmeal.
  • Turn the dough out and divide into 4, 240-gram balls.
  • Turn the ends under and shape on an unfloured surface into a ball.
  • Transfer to the sheet pan; cover with greased plastic wrap and rise until noticeably puffy. About 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Using a sharp knife or razor blade, score the top of each roll 1 1/2 inches deep right across the center.
  • Bake on the center rack until the internal temperature reaches 180-200 and the bowls are golden. 35-40 minutes. Tent with foil if they start getting too dark.
  • Once cool enough to handle, cut a shallow circle in the top and hollow out the inside of the bowl with your fingers, leaving at least 1/2" of bread on the inside to prevent leaks.
