Pa de pagès català - Catalan loaf

Profile picture for user Abelbreadgallery

The most typical bread in Catalonia. It's a boule of dough, baked with the seam up.

 

 

So, the final rise is on their backs, this way? Any added ingredients, spices? They are beautiful, it sure would be hard to keep from digging in...

According to the catalan standard, this is one kilo of flour, 580-620 ml of water, 200 gr of old dough, 20 gr of salt and 5-20 gr of fresh yeast.
