TIMES ARE QUITE ACCURATE
Sprinkle yeast into warmed water. Stir until creamy and let rest about
10 minutes while you chop up the fresh rosemary. Stir in the tomato
juice, olive oil, rosemary and pepper. Add the flour and salt one cup
at a time and mix well with paddle. Towards the end the flour will
seem to be too much and it will stop mixing. Don’t fret. And DON’T
add more water.
LET DOUGH REST FOR 10 MINUTES to allow for maximum absorbtion. After
the resting, mix about a minute more with the paddle. Flour will still
be dry at bottom. Change to dough hook. Mix at medium speed for 4
minutes. You will see the flour was sufficient and the bowl will be
clean.
Place dough on unfloured counter and knead a bit. It might be just a
tad tacky.
Coat a large bowl with butter or margarine (oil causes dough to stick)
cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 1/2 hours. Dough
should double.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and flour really well —
important — pour on the flour.
Flatten dough out on the counter to a giant rectangle. Roll it up
tightly like a jelly roll. Flatten again and roll again. Form dough
into a tight ball with a really tight skin over the top. The more
interesting the bottom will be (not a perfect ball) the more exciting
the final product will be. Place on parchment paper and cover with a
bath towel (a bit damp is best).
Turn on oven to 450.
Let dough rise about 45 minutes — until not quite doubled in size.
Err on too little rise than too much for a better texture and oven
spring.
When ready to bake. Open oven and pull out rack with your baking
stone. Carefully lift a side of the parchment paper and roll the
dough over on to the stone. (No cornmeal) Rapidly grab your spray
bottle and give the oven several good spritzes.
Bake for 10 minutes. Then give another spritz and turn oven down to
400. Bake an additional 35 minutes. Turn the bread around a couple
of times during the cooking. I no longer trust the bottom thump
method so I plunge in an instant-reading thermometer and if it reads
200 the bread is done.
TURN OFF OVEN AND LEAVE BREAD IN FOR 10 MINUTES for an optimum crispy
crust. (The open door while you thermometer test cools the oven
sufficiently so cooking stops but keep door closed for these 10
minutes).
Cool thoroughly on a rack over a big bowl for maximum air circulation.
