Instructions
 

  • To prepare Biga, Mix yeast and warm water and let stand until creamy, about 10 ten minutes.
  • Add remaining water to yeast mixture. Add half cup flour. Stir with a spoon until well combined. Add remaining flour and stir for 3 to 4 minutes until a sticky dough forms
  • Transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise at cool room temperature for 6 -24 hours or until the starter is triple its volume. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To prepare dough for bread, In a bowl, mix milk, and ¼ cup water. Stir in honey. Add yeast. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes, until frothy. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cheese and onions.
  • To knead the dough, break up biga and add to yeast mixture. Stir until fairly mixed. Add dry ingredients slowly and keep stirring. When you¢â‚¬â„¢ve added all the dry ingredients, transfer shaggy dough to the floured counter. Knead for about 6 to 8 minutes
  • If the dough feels dry, add more water. Minced onions make dough moist. Adjust water quantity accordingly. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour or until double.
  • Scrape the dough into floured counter. Punch the dough and divide into two equal pieces.
  • Roll out each piece into one 8 inch x 10-inch rectangle and then roll up into a log. Pinch seams to seal. Shape the logs like baguettes (long but narrow at the edges)
  • Place the logs on a greased baking tray. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rise for 45 minutes or until puffy. Sprinkle flour on the surface and give three diagonal cuts quickly with a sharp knife.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 220 degrees C for about 25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown. Cover with a foil if the top is browning too fast. Cool in the rack. Slice when cold.
