Rose Petal & Longan Baguette

Oh boy oh boy! Finally, I've decided to take a few days off. Gosh, I need a break so badly! My life sucks for past couple of days. *Excuse me!* hehe..... I'll be away on this Sunday and will be back on next Thursdays. But before that I have to put this up. One of my favourite baguette! Yes, baguette with rose petal and dried longan. In this recipe, I am not soaking the dried longan with red wine but by just adding them in dried & plain unlike the last recipe. I love the natural sweetness in it.

I have to thank Kak Elra for this recipe.

Ingredients :

Starter Dough:
3 tbsp wild yeast

3/4 cup water

1 cup bread flour

(combine all ingredients to form a sticky dough and leave aside for overnight)

Main Dough :

3 cup bread flour

1-1/2 cup water

2 tspn salt

1/2 cup dried longan

50gm dried rose petal, chopped

Method :

(1) combine all main dough ingredients and starter dough to form a soft dough.

(2) let to rest for an hour and fold the dough for a few times.
(3) again, let the dough rest for another one hour.
(4) now, shape the dough and place it to a container or tray wrap with plastic sheet.
(5) keep dough refrigerated overnight.

Finally, bake at 230'c preheated oven for about 35-45 mins.

(spray water into oven before placing in the dough or place a cup of water into the oven for the first 20mins. And then remove it away.)

Actually, I just get my refrigerator fixed yesterday. Some of the food already down to the drain due to improper temperature, included my 8-10 months old wild yeast. ;o( Hopefully, everything going to be back to normal again after the trip. Errrrr......

I've also tried making them into smaller loaves and they looked even better. Alright guys, wish me luck and hopefully I can relax myself a bit. See you all later.

And Happy Holiday to all ! Enjoy & have fun.
