Homemade crocant bread sounds absolutely delicious! 😋 It’s got that crunchy, golden crust and soft, pillowy interior. Here’s a recipe you could try to make your own:
Ingredients:
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (around 110°F or 45°C)
1 tbsp olive oil (optional for extra flavor)
1 tbsp cornmeal or semolina (for dusting, optional)
1 egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water, for glazing)
Instructions:
Activate the yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir to form a dough.
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can add a little more flour if it’s too sticky.
